WHISPERING WIND...

Sitting on my
backyard swing,
I'm listening to
the sacred wind...

It whispers tales,
of way back when..
When life was sweet
Yes, way back then...


The wind it stirs my
friendships  past ..
Where have they gone?
Why didn't they last? ..

The roads we traveled
in our  younger years..
The whispering winds,
It kept our tears..

Winds of time with
winds of change..
Winds recalling each
weathered page..

I call your names,
each one out loud..
No one answers
behind the  shroud..

The wind it stirs
the distant times ..
Recalling memories
with each clamoring
chime..

I miss you friend,
you're far away..
I'll whisper a prayer,
It's on the way ..

THE SMALL WONDERFUL THINGS IN LIFE...

Why bother with  more than the
small wonderful things in life?
Why bother with the monstrosities,
the life lacking enormities of strife..

Zero in on the beautiful child
that has just learned to smile..
Or your brother or sister
who just ran an extra mile..

How about the twinkle in
your grandfather's eye..
As he looks at your grandmother,
Recalling  the years
together in this life..

No my friend, it is the sweet
first touch of a raindrop,
 before a sweet summer rain..
Fresh cut flowers on the
table, so simple and plain..

White fluffy clouds dancing
effortlessly  in the sky..
As you lay in a meadow,
Watching them pass by..

So next time a person or life's
pressures get you down..
Always look at the beautiful side of life ..
Its just beyond your doorstep,
Yes, so easily  found..

Get back to the simple pleasures
that don't cost a dime..
The small wonderful things
that give us joy and happiness in life...

DANCING ON RAINBOWS...

DANCING ON RAINBOWS...
🌈


When I was young and

 didn't have a care ..

When life was a breeze,

 It was  like walking on air..
..

Not a worry or a fret to

 weigh me down..

Just sunshine and

rainbows,

 nary a frown..
..

Hand in hand we

danced, we played..

My friends and I ..

I still cherish those days...
..

Years have passed, I still    

 remember when..

Guess I hoped  it would

  never end..

..

Memories they haunt me,

 but in a happy way..

I close my eyes to recall

 those days ..
..

I'm up so high  in the

clouded sky..

Dancing on rainbows,

In the sweet by and by ..

ON THIS DAY, MY BIRTHDAY...

ON THIS DAY, MY BIRTHDAY...

Waking, it was a day like many others..
Sunlight streaming through the windows and shudders..

Cloudless blue sky
seemed crisp yet ominous ..
The morning air brisk,
bringing me alert and fully conscious ..

As I opened the door to get a better look..
Something magical
moved my spirit ..
My spirit, it shook !!

I heard the first chirp of a Robins new song..
I saw a rising of a crocus
bursting up strong..

The day is new with life
and the living..
Spring is near ..
I see and feel its beginning..

How precious the signs of fresh new beginnings..
My happy heart rejoices, it's joyfully singing...

(Happy Birthday to Me)

RECALLING HIS TOUCH...

I woke early this morning and my first thoughts are of gratitude and love..
Praising the Almighty God for His vigilant watch over me even in the darkest of hours and while the storms of life besiege ..

Never have I walked this path alone ..
Never have I been blinded by doubt when weakened by each challenge ..

When I feel estranged or when I cry in desperation ... it was only because I did not seek Him first..

I realize now more than ever as I look back far beyond my distant past..
He gently took my hand and lead me even when I forgot to ask ..

Yes, my heart is full of gratitude and love..
For today is another chance to Praise His Holy Name and recount the many times He lead me through each day..
