Young at Heart – Tanka (and a bit more) :)
It’s time to step out
of my comfort zone and back
onto a campus –
new goal is exciting, but
my nerves are doing dances

I began working full-time after high school,
married in my late twenties,
had children and here I am.
I’ve just been inspired by my daughter graduating
from community college.
Additionally, there were many older adults
who graduated, as well, some in their fifties and
the oldest was 73! I’m 52, so I think I fit in, don’t you? 🙂
My goal is to return and work towards an AA in English;
a great opportunity to refresh my brain in many aspects.
Can I do it? Of course I can…
but I’m a little nervous, too.
I feel good about this; something new for me,
as my kids are now moving on, too.
My hubby has also encouraged me,
so the timing feels right…
to satisfy a hunger to learn more
and to keep my brain young.
If any of you can relate to this new chapter in life,
I’d love to hear your story.
Wish me luck!
🙂
Kindness
Does your heart try
to please every soul
turn frowns upside down
dry tears and console
Do your eyes see the good
in everything around
in every person you pass
on the streets in your town
If the answer is yes
then you’re quite the friend
you have an abundance of love
to share again and again
Yet, you’re also at risk
to having your heart broken
because not all will agree
with your words spoken
So you do your best
for the common good
and hope all your loving actions
are truly understood

Beautiful Existence (Belated re-post for Earth Day) :)
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 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
