Endurance


We race with the hands
of the clock on the wall

usually in last place

like a slow, dragging crawl

ย Everything must be now
instant gratification

when we should slow down

and feel appreciation

ย Maybe what weโ€™re waiting for
isnโ€™t meant to be

Itโ€™s all in the timing

and not all about โ€œweโ€

ย If youโ€™re a believer
itโ€™s really up to Him

and what His plan entails

not just our personal whim

So exhale a little slower
demonstrate some tolerance

Itโ€™ll all come together

with just a bit of patience

He was so patient, waiting for me
to take some pictures~

white puffs in spring float

through neighborhood streets with poise

visions of snowfall

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
Lifeโ€™s colors and compositions
Godโ€™s gifts we praise
