Endurance

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Inspirational47 Comments


We race with the hands
of the clock on the wall
usually in last place
like a slow, dragging crawl

 Everything must be now
instant gratification
when we should slow down
and feel appreciation

 Maybe what we’re waiting for
isn’t meant to be
It’s all in the timing
and not all about “we”

 If you’re a believer
it’s really up to Him
and what His plan entails
not just our personal whim

So exhale a little slower
demonstrate some tolerance
It’ll all come together
with just a bit of patience

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

Childhood Cabin Haiku

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Family, Haiku32 Comments

Behind the dark boards
a roaring fire warmed us
those days long ago

 Generations played
cards; ante up, fifteen cents
while lasagna baked

 The haunted cabin
around the corner scared us
entering our dreams

A snow packed staircase
made it easy for our dog
A view from the roof

I have fond memories of our cabin
from my childhood.
It wasn’t fancy or huge, but very, very cozy. 
The best of times were spent playing games indoors,
hiking, tobogganing and sledding.
The last time I saw it, the windows were boarded
and I don’t have any old photos. 
It was sad to see it that way,
but it’s good to have the wonderful memories
in mind of our fun mountain get-a-ways
that included family and friends.  ♥
