Life’s events
stun and surprise us
some lovely and wonderful
others filled with sadness
Though we search and try
with all of our might
questions remain
with no answers in sight
So we cast our burdens
Let Him carry us through
for only He knows best
in everything we do
We watch our worries
fall to the floor
and feel freedom at last
with no thoughts at war
Our minds are at ease now
a breath of fresh air
Moving forward again
In our pocket, a prayer

Though glowing rays
warm my window panes
I function in a daze
my nights remain cloudy
I dream only in grays
and when I reach for your hand
feeling only the sheets
my heart shatters once again
adding another piece
to the pile in my mind
of brokenness from the past
promises flowing
down the river
crashing with a splash
I miss your eyes
how they touched
deep into my soul
and how your loving words
made my heart whole
but I’ll find worthiness
on a dusty shelf
and lying beside it
will be the strength I seek
for even without your love
I won’t remain weak

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

Dear Friends,
I need to take a little break
from blogging and maybe even facebook.
There are some things in life that need my attention right now.
So I’m going to miss you all and I thank you, once again,
for your likes, comments and follows!
I may be a little slow in doing the same,
but please know my good intentions are there..
and I do appreciate your continued support.
I don’t know how long I’ll be “away,”
it may just be for a short time,
or it could be longer,
but I wish you all much happiness and
I look forward to returning to your inspirational
writing and photography.
I’m not crazy about “good-byes”
so instead, I say “See you later,”
and I’ll close this post with a
recent acrostic I wrote from early March
for those special friends in our lives…
including online! 🙂
For who wants to be alone?
Reveling in life’s joy or weeping
In between those moments; I’ll be your
Everlasting support, a listening heart,
Never will I take you for granted, for you are a
Dear soul who I can grow with, without growing apart
Stay Happy, Healthy and Safe and I’m sending Hugs your way! ♥

I was reminiscing of an old friend
from many years ago…
Card design and yellow rose by my wonderful friend,
Angela at pathwayofpoetry.com.
Does this evoke memories of
someone special
from your past? ♥
Swinging from the chandelier
I’m overwhelmed from toes to ear
I know it’s time to walk the frog
Can’t just sit, type and blog
I’d love to dye my hair bright red
Did you hear what I just said?
Reaching for the coffee cup
Time to fill and pet the pup
In the wind, I feel so free
Would you like a cup of tea?
I’d love to swim and read a book
It’s five o’clock, what shall I cook?
Staring at the vacuum cleaner
I wonder why the fish are meaner
Planets aren’t aligned, at all
Let’s go shopping at the mall
I could talk and talk for miles
but only if you share more smiles
