Heaven and earth–
Is it so small a thing
To have enjoyed the sun,
To have lived joyfully in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought, to have done?

Sunflowers
Nothing is more cheerful
Than looking at sunflowers
Smiling at the sky.
Goodbye
Outdoors, a breeze makes
All the flowers look friendly.
White butterflies in a field
Are the tattered handkerchiefs
Of those who did not finish
Saying goodbye.
Hummingbirds
The hummingbird hovers over
Flowers darting in and out
Of blossoms sipping nectar,
So small and fragile. Where
They go at night is anybody’s
Guess. They cluster together
In trees for warmth, maybe.
Jasmine
Garden beds of jasmine
Are a beautiful sight to
See year round. The
Sturdy tropical plant
Comes in many colors
And is a great addition
To a walking garden.
Nothing calms the soul
Better than a walk in
A garden of fragrant
Jasmine flowers.
Serenity Pool
Deep in the woods away
From the noise of the
City is a haven of peace
Called Serenity Pool.
It has benches around
It so people can sit and
Reflect and make decisions.
Couples can be together
In peace. Looking into
The pool you can see
Into the future.
Spring
Gray cold days, barren trees,
No flowers, seasonal affective
Disorder flourishes. If it were
Not for Thanksgiving and
Christmas, one might as well
Hibernate. But there is hope.
Spring is coming, warmth and
Growth and the promise of
Renewal of life everywhere.
Live With No Regrets
Flowers that are not planted
Do not need to be watered.
Words that are not said
Will not be remembered.
Actions that are not taken
Will not need to be regretted.
Relationships that are not explored
Will not dwell in the bitter memory.
Fairies
One morning a little boy
Was playing in his front
Yard and decided to wander
Around through his mother’s
Rose bushes
A little person with wings
Flew in front of him and
Was joined by a few other
Of the tiny fairies
They did not seem to be
Afraid of him and he was not
Afraid of them watching them
Gracefully fly among the roses
Mission
God has given us
One main task in
Life —
And that is to
Develop and grow
In the right direction
To find out who we really
Are
