On my walk today
Many delights on the way
Lovely bouquet
Many surprises abound
New treasures are found

On My Daily Walk
White roses greet
Squirrel and birds in a tree
Charming bench for rest
Many delights for my soul
God offered me today

Slight Breeze
A warm summer day
Birds seek the shade of the trees
To escape the sun
But, outside my window
Wind plays with petunias

Good Fruit
Jesus wise words
Trees are known by their fruit.
Promote the good
Out of the mouth the heart speaks
Fill your heart with good treasure
Tanka
For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Luke 6:44-45
Make a Difference
Look around you now.
What’s in your enviroment?
Make a difference!
Look for the flowers not weeds.
If you find none, plant one!

Renewal
After a short walk
Peaceful place to rest
Counting my blessings
In the shelter of the vine
I renew my strength and hope
Tanka
Every Step
Walking with Jesus
Faithful and true companion
Always by my side
Each step He gives me strength
And guidance for the day

Restoration
Bowed, not broken.
Bruised, but will rise again.
In His mighty strength
And His tender compassion,
He will bring new life to me.
Tanka
(based on Matthew 12:20
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment to victory.)
Hard Times
Times are hard
Troubles come everyday
Trying to keep the faith
I talk to my Father daily
And His Word reassures me
Tanka
Thankful
Freshly picked flowers
Beautiful birthday gift
On my special day
Though life has it’s ups and downs
I am thankful I was born
