Let it weave through your being
Leading you forward
Miracle of blooms
Inspire universally
New day’s breath of life

Welcome to my corner of this wonderful community where I share my poetry, short stories, and occasional photos. My husband and I have been married for thirty-seven years, and we have two adult children. I have published four collections of poetry, a memoir, and a children’s picture book. I am working on another poetry collection and an early chapter children’s book. When you visit, I hope you find something to take with you, but that you also find something enticing enough to keep bringing you back. I truly appreciate your visit. Cheers, Lauren ❤️
Love’s Decree
Your kindness
glows upon my world
pulling me in
forever surreal
When you give your love
my foundation shifts
like a gentle quake
I tumble in
Tenderly
You stir my soul
as a whirlwind
out of control
With you
I travel
the road to bliss
My heart’s content
A love so real

Distant Hearts
Though many miles lie between
You’re as close to me as my breath
Feeling your warmth upon my face
Your touch I won’t forget
Longing days turn into ebony
Thoughts of you consume my mind
With open arms, I step inside
No truer love I’ll ever find

BEAUTIFUL EXISTENCE
Flowers bloom
Bees buzz
Red bellied robins sing
just because
Crickets chirp
Frogs croak
Butterflies gracefully float
around the majestic oak
Wind blows
Trees sway
Ladybugs save the gardens
hunting their prey
Earth moves
Ocean splashes
Thunder loudly rumbles
while lightning flashes
Nature entertains
Abundantly each day
Life’s colors and compositions
God’s gifts we praise

FRIDAY CHEER :)
It’s here
It’s finally arrived
We’re breathing, we’re alive
So make the day great
Don’t wait
Don’t waste a God given moment
to share a smile
Make this day worthwhile
Enjoy nature’s beauty
If you have the chance
Grab a hand and do a
Happy dance
Be friendly
Be generous
Be charming
You’ll feel stupendous
It won’t be alarming
Look forward to
the coming
days of leisure
Do whatever may be
your favorite pleasure
Don’t think
Don’t ponder
So much is waiting
over yonder
Here’s a wish for a Friday
that’s Grand
A blessing from me,
that’s firsthand
If you do this
then I will proclaim
to do the very same!
🙂

Clouds roll in
Cold front imminent
Strong winds concurrent
Common sense confirms predictability
Preparation is a necessity
Still, accepting what is inevitable
doesn’t occur naturally~

I thought LeRoy’s message was so special and wonderful, not to mention the beautiful artwork, that I chose to share. I hope this message helps you, too, and that you enjoy~ Lauren xx
In yesterday’s posting, I shared how our grandson found his “bear in a tree.” It was literal as he carved his bear out of a tree trunk with a chain saw.
I use the term, “bear in a tree” to represent a God-given talent that each of us has. Our grandson found his talent out of curiosity and the use of a chain saw.
You may not have to use a chain saw to find our “bear in a tree,” but you might have to be more aware of an idea or a curiosity that may lead you to discover your talent. You might find it in plain sight.
I carried the notion of writing with me most of my life. Now, that notion is a reality. How much talent do I have? We’ll find out.
The thing is, if you don’t test drive an idea or curiosity, you will never…

Happy Birthday, Honey! ♥
I’m wishing my Husband a wonderful Birthday today
and many more years of happiness with
the kids and I.
Below, is one of my favorites I wrote for him last December~
Cloud 9
Can you believe we’re “you and I?”
I’m still amazed that you’re my guy
How you fell in love with me
and how we came to be
I’ll never know just what I said
what I did to make you trip
I’m just glad I caught you then,
Do you remember when…
We danced all night and closed the doors
You held me tight and I was yours
The music stopped; our hearts kept beat
The tempo followed our graceful feet
You gently swept me off the floor
and I kept going back for more
Your loving whispers melted me
Our kiss good night lifted me
to a place I never thought I’d find
I’m finally where I want to be…
A lovely view
from the divine cloud nine
