After a long winter
The season life loves
Arrives known as
Spring. Green sprouts
Pop up on bushes and
Trees, marigolds are
Everywhere. The
Natural world wakes
Up and all living
Things rejoice.

Enjoy the Little Things
In living we rush around and
Beat ourselves senseless
Making decisions in a hurry
As to what’s important to us
And what is not. Often we
Don’t slow down enough
To really see what matters.
All we actually have to do
Is enjoy the the little things
To bring life into focus.
Birds
On a windy spring day
Many things are blowing
Through the air, newspapers,
Small birds, dust, and feathers.
Birds grow feathers to replace
The ones they lost to continue
To make the sky their kingdom
Behind the Scenes
Lots of things go on behind
The scenes that never get
Noticed
A mother taking care of her
Newborn baby, a nurse caring
For an elderly patient who is
Unable to do anything on
Their own, a teacher spending
Time tutoring a student, a minister
Comforting a troubled young couple
–these are the behind the scenes angels
Live
I am going to live my life
From year to year
Facing what happens without
Hesitation, not being in a hurry
Or running away
Or being sorry for the things
That disappeared
