Heart Quest
Many fall in it.
Many seem to get over it.
Many do find it.
What is it that I speak of?
The thing all hearts seek–it’s love!

Hasty Words
Can I take them back?
I didn’t mean what I said.
What I spoke was wrong.
I want those words to be unsaid,
And their memory erased.

The Elements
Taking elements
In remembrance of His death.
The bread and the wine
Represent Jesus’ sacrifice.
His body and blood for us.

Happy-Sad
Happiest moment!
He asks me out on a date!
The saddest moment.
I realize he is a jerk,
And I just want to go home.

Hardships
My struggles and tears
Have come and gone thru the years
Such is life’s story
In them I see no glory
Except that they made me stronger

National Cat Day
A special day to
Honor the memory of
Family felines
Jinx, MoMo, Morris, Pablo
Past and Present furry friends

Every October 29 is National Cat Day
Precious Moments
Another day past
The leaves continue to fall
Another sunset
Life seems to become more dear
As each day comes to a close

Anxiety
My mind is racing
Thoughts are swirling in my head
Like leaves in the wind
I hear the sound of your voice
Suddenly all becomes calm

Gathering of Gulls
A Gull gathering
Quite far away from the sea
New Urban dwellers
They flew into the city
Seeking food and chose to stay
