In the Spring
this tree has
One Thousand myriad
branches
tender gold shoots
softer than silk
in this wild unpeopled field
Who does this Willow belong to?

Mountain
Look and see how tall
That mountain is ahead
Of you. Pretty imposing,
Isn’t it? You can climb
That mountain if you just
Put one foot in front of
The other.
Socks
Why didn’t Einstein wear
Socks? Did it help him
Think?
If it took that to accomplish
His groundbreaking work,
So be it.
The Sound
When lying in bed at night
In the dark and you are
Having trouble sleeping
A random noise comes
From somewhere in
The bedroom. Nothing
To be afraid of, but
Could it be aliens?
Dare
Dare to be true.
Dare to be loving.
Dare to be caring.
Dare to be compassionate.
Dare to be yourself.
Help
Sometimes we all
Need help. We look
In all sorts of places
And talk to people
That we can trust.
But when you get
Right down to it, the
Foolproof source of
Help is from God–
Take it to the Lord
In prayer.
“Give all your worries and cares to God,
for he cares about you.” (1 Peter 5:7 NLT).
Splendor
She walks in splendor.
She is lovely in every
Way. Her sweetness
Knows no bounds. She
Is my lover, my wife.

Leftovers
My mother never fed
Me leftovers. She spent
A lot of time fixing the
Best meals I will always
Remember. She’s gone
Now, but her meals are
Not the only loving
Things I’ll remember
About her.
Foundered
A homeless man liked to eat
Fried frog legs, because they
Tasted like chicken. And one
Day he ate so many that he
Became foundered on them,
Never wanting to eat frog
Legs again.
Where do Angels Go?
They go to every human being
Who is suffering. They go to
Hospitals, nursing homes and
Homeless shelters. Everyone
Has a guardian angel.
