Happiness

I look up
and see the sky.
I watch the clouds
float slowly by.
I hear the breeze
move through the trees.
I take your hand
and see your smile.
Let's sit down here
and rest awhile.

Daily Bread

Loving God,
open my eyes.
Fill me with patience.
Provide me with strength.
Clothe me with love.
Remind me I need
only bread for today.
In your hands, dear God.,
you hold my future.
Free me from fear.
Remind me to lean on you.
Thank you.

Moonlight

Stars dance in the sky.
Moonlight bathes the forest.
Beauty is found
in these small scenes.

Joy

Laughing together
joy is found in such moments
blessings surround us

Night

The frogs croak.
The owl hoots.
The clocks tick.
Children sleep soundly.
I sit and listen.
I am thankful for today.

Thankful

I have love.
I need no more.
I have faith.
I need no more.
I have friends.
I need no more.
I have you.
I need no more.

Summer

Sizzling sunshine
drenches the day.
Sweat
drips
down
my
back.
I breath in warm, humid air.
Shade is a small refuge.
But wait, a breeze
floats
my
way.
The caress of an angel.
Butterflies
and
dragonflies
don't mind the heat.
They are carefree as they fly.
I stop to watch them and
remember summer is full of
beauty, too.
I will truly look more often.
