I see
A Great White Throne
And One who sits on it
Heaven and Earth flee from His face
Judgment
Cinquain
Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. Revelation 20:11

Step by step
You will make it soon
Fortitude
Certitude
Determined steps always
Keep moving forward
Shadorma
This poem is based on an experience I had this summer where I faced a block walk up a steep hill, i had already walked nearly 4 miles, it was a hot day, I had no water with me, there was no place to stop and rest. I was tempted to quit, turn around, give up, but I didn’t and I am glad. It was difficult but I made it, slowly, one step at a time. And, as I look back now that was one of my best days, as I felt I had accomplished something that at the time seemed impossible.
Sometimes life is that way. Sometimes we want to just quit, give up, stop caring, stop trying, for just getting through the day seems like we are walking up a steep hill, with no place to stop and take a break, no refreshment or reprieve in sight, but if we keep moving forward, slowly, we will make it—one step at a time.
Never. Ever. Give Up.
In the Fall season of life
It seems the sun wanes,
It’s lost its strength.
It doesn’t cast warm rays as long,
Nor with as great intensity,
As when in its summer season
Of life.
Then it was so bright and strong,
Vibrant, heated, remaining long,
But now it’s lost it’s fervor.
Yet, it still shines.
It still rises.
It still does what it was created to do.
It gives light,
Even though limited.
It doesn’t give up.
It shows up.
Do you?

Once again
Autumn visits us
Abounding
In color
Leaves fall at her entrance
Blushing from her touch

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. —Albert Camus
Sunflowers bowing
Clouds shed tears
Summer’s final day

Ordinary day
Turned wondrous
Woman at the well
Visited by Truth
Living Water spoke
Messiah revealed
Woman’s life was changed

A culinary delight!
When I first met you,
It was true love at first sight!
Especially so,
After taking that
Very first
Bite!

I first saw and tasted Pizza in the late 1950’s in a small Italian restaurant in Kenosha, Wisconsin. My older sister had discovered it through eating out with some of her high school friends and excitedly told our family about this wonderful new food item. So our whole family went to see what it was and we all loved it! It ended up being my dad’s favorite food 😊

Appreciate beauty
Be present daily
Color your world with kindness
Decide to be positive
Encourage others to grow
Focus on today
Give smiles freely
Help those in need
Imagine great things
Jostle yourself to live life fully
Keep on making everyday count
Let the past remain there
Make everyday new
Notice nice little things
Open your mind to new opportunities
Ponder possibilities
Quickly forgive others
Valiantly seize the day
Walk in peace with purpose
X out all negativity
Yoke yourself to Christ
Zoom in on peace and happiness

Do you like me,
My mind, my thoughts inside?
Respect me
Internally,
Or the shell which I reside?
I’m more than that.
Shadorma
Sitting on concrete,
Her only firm foundation.
Thin white hands held
A small cardboard rectangle,
Instead of two little girls.
