I grew up in a black and white world
But then I found color, beautiful
Color of all kinds, hues, and shades,
And my world has never been
The same since, for
Now I see light prisms
Everywhere,
And find joy
And wonder
Daily.

Finding Joy in the Journey
Searching,
Finding the joy,
Unexpected delight, and
The wonder, in everything
I smile
And give
Thanks, treasuring
The memories that bring
Joy and hope when a dark day comes
In sight

He offers abundance
To those who will believe
All are welcome

As the busy day ends
We all need a place to call
Our very own—it’s Home

Happening upon
A said symbol of
Royalty and wisdom
Basking in the sun
I captured the
Fortuitous encounter

Memorial Day
In memory of your
Faces we no longer see,
Who fought to keep us free,
Souls so brave and true, now gone,
For our freedom we thank you.

Morning Thoughts
I arose early
But not before the sun
Opening the blinds
Revealed a gray squirrel
Burying his treasures
In my plants, (little rascal)
As the coffee perked
I watched events unfold
Sleep would’ve hidden from me
Maintenence man
Digging up the dead bushes
In my back yard
Birds chattering at stray cat
Cars passing by as
My little corner of world
Awakens to another
Day of life, unknowing what it
Will bring, we all grasp it with hope
Double Choka
Choices
Two paths lay before me
Where will they lead my feet
If I go left where will I be
Two paths lay before me
If I go right what will I see
I wonder if in the end both will meet
Two paths lay before me
Where will they lead my feet

The Power Of Words
“You Matter”
Two words
Spoken
At the
Right time
Often
Impact
A mind
For good
Bring change
Plant hope
Give peace
Words have
Such power!

I came
Soon afterward
Twas just at the right time
They said, but I knew Father had
It planned
