Just a tiny flower
Blooming in an obscure place,
Who would even notice
Its happy smiling cheeful face?
A sadden soul stops and picks.
Tanka
We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do. –Mother Teresa

A Country Divided
Opinions flying
Hit like glass shattering
Causing chaos and strife
Who’s right? Who’s wrong? We debate.
While disunity reigns

Copper Rain
Pennies from heaven?
It seems with each worry I find
A coin at my feet.

Summer’s Last Day
Goodbye Summer.
So sad to see you go.
Enjoyed the
Warmth you gave.
I’ll miss your daily presence,
And sunshine and flowers.

Which Gate?
Wide gate
Opens to pleasures,
Worldly fun,
Care-free,
Yet it ends in destruction,
And utter darkness.
Narrow gate
Is chosen by few
Difficult ,
Obstacles,
Yet leads to everlasting life.
Which gate to choose?
Double Shadorma
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14
Wet Lands
Flash Floods in the land
Fall has come to Oregon
The rains are back
Haiku
Pause to Praise
Is your life full
Of good things sent from the Lord?
Abundantly blessed,
Crowned with tender mercies?
Have you been divinely
Healed, Forgiven, Redeemed?
May you never forget
To always praise the Lord daily
For everything He does for you
Choka

Living with Deadlines
A Stressed, stretched schedule
Learning to juggle
