Life is passing by
Enjoy the living moments
While you have time
Savor every moment
Before it is gone
Grasping all those good times
While they’re in reach
Will give you good memories
A storehouse of treasures
Choka
It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It’s called living. —Terry Pratchett
Twenty Two days since
June arrived to bring us
Summertime again
How long we have waited
Anticipating
The sunshine to greet us
Each morning we woke
And now in the midst of it
We treasure each moment
Choka
Smile at everyone
Believe in yourself
Respect others
Dream a million dreams
Create joy and gladness
Imagine new things
Bless everyone and everything
Faith gives strength
Grace is needed daily
Kindness is always welcomed
Peace is precious
Love is the greatest treasure
Hope is an anchor
Joy is contagious-give some away
Free Verse
I had been wanting to create a place to share my painted rocks with others and also offer the opportunity for others to place and share rocks they paint, so after several months of hoping, dreaming, planning and praying it came to fruition in a wonderful way and today it was completed! I am very happy with how it all turned out and feel blessed that it has already been noticed, used, and admired by many in my neighborhood. I am hoping now that it continues to grow and expand!
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
Double Cinquain
“Find joy in the journey” —Anonymous
Trash to me
Treasure to her
Just made neighbor’s day
And mine so much better by
Sharing

Spring cleaning reveals un-wanted items in my closet that become just the thing my neighbor needs.
Life is a vapor
We are all a just breath away
From eternity
Saddened by the news of Kobe Bryant’s death today and also that of his young daughter.
We never know how much time we have on this earth, and today is a reminder of how short life sometimes can be.
Seeking
To save
The lost
Treasure
Christ came
For all
Syllabic Verse
Seekers oft’ uncover
Golden opportunities
In unlikely places

Small but great treasure
Tiny green fold up scissors
They’re never dull
Senryu
#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day12–Prompt: Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem about a dull thing that you own, and why (and how) you love it.
I have had this little pair of green fold up scissors for many, many years. I have always carried them with me either in my purse or in my car. There have been countless times they’ve come in so handy!
We count our life in years,
But what about the days?
All the seconds of life?
Cherish all the minutes.
It’s in those moments,
Memories are made,
Chances are taken,
Changes often happen.
Treasure every breath.
Celebrate each day.
Give thanks for your life.
Syllabic Verse
My grand-daughter messaged me today to tell me I have lived 27,365 days so far! Where did all those days go?
It seems a lot longer when you view your life as days rather than years!
It’s pretty amazing to think about, and so inspired the thoughts for this poem.
