Just a few small stones
And a little bit of time
Can brighten the day,
Create some happiness
For me to share with others
Tanka
I enjoyed painting some more inspirational rocks today to share near the path.
Many that I’d created last week were taken by those that passed by so I needed to replenish the area.
I am happy to see they are brightening people’s day.
While walking thru life in these shoes
I saw things I didn’t want to see
Came upon things I didn’t choose
While walking thru life in these shoes
I walked away from things I hated to lose
Stood firm when when I wanted to flee
While walking thru life in these shoes
I saw things I didn’t want to see

Yes, many things I’ve seen and done in my 75 years, but nothing has quite been like what I am seeing and experiencing now during this virus.
I pray all our shoes will stand strong so that we will all be walking away from this time in our lives healthy and free to really live life again in a world that is free from this terrible disease.
Life gives limes,
Make a pie!
Turn sour into good.
Syllable Lune
Tenacious
Like a dandelion
Persistent
Determined
Holding strongly on to life in
Any circumstance

And I had a
Delightful walk today
Inspite of all the troubling news
We saw
Colorful flowers blooming and
Cheerful sidewalk art
On display in the
Sunshine
Butterfly Cinquain
Walking thru my day
Avoiding worry puddles
Watching where I walk
Stepping over the pitfalls
Of the fear induced cracks
Tanka
First day of Spring
Sun is shining bright
Daffodils
Sashaying
To the music of songbirds
In the gentle breeze

Blessings to all my family, friends and followers!
I hope you are all are experiencing a delightful First Day of Spring wherever you are at this time.
I do pray for those in quarantine and lockdown that they can still look outside and see the beauty of nature and for those who are shut in with illnesses at this time I pray for your speedy recovery as well.
When clouds of adversity hover
As they someday surely will
Dont give up and run for cover
When clouds of adversity hover
Stand firm and you’ll discover
There’s strength in standing still
When clouds of adversity hover
As they someday surely will
Triolet
Troubles
Like storm clouds
Floating into our lives
Will flow out like river water
Fear not!
Cinquain
(My mom lived in and survived the Great Depression. “This Too Shall Pass” was one of her favorite sayings. It is also becoming one of mine.)
Yellow stars
Scattered about
Nod hello
Inviting
Me to stop and watch them dance
Each day as I pass by
