Postponed adventures
Rushing to Mother’s kitchen—
Freshly baked cookies
Child protests bedtime
“Gonna stay up all night long”
Stardust dreams fly in
Springtime approaching
Arriving any day now—
Playfulness rising
Afternoon nap calls
Down, down for well-earned respite—
Up, up . . . chores to do
Sitting on park bench
Dreaming of ice cream sundae—
Time for exercise
Child’s sparkling clean room
Tornado waits in shadows—
Orderly chaos
Dressing in layers
Furnace running at top speed—
Now, who loves winter?
Kitchen’s window view
Yard’s relentless, frozen scene—
Calendar says “Spring”
Welcomed arrival
Spring bursting with treasured breath—
Red robin flies in
Frozen tundra’s cold
Fireplace consumes final log—
When will winter end?
Sunny skies, all blue
Winter’s Arctic deception—
Days of lasting chills
Warm, westerly winds
Chinook’s welcome arrival—
Winter’s escape plan
Winter day’s sunshine
Frosty’s cousin liquefied—
Playfulness melting
All things now in place
Embracing mother’s lifestyle—
Child’s room makeover
Teen doing homework?
Dreamy imagination—
Ambition snoozes
Pre-dawn’s innocence
Preview with minimal light—
Sunrise holding back
Epic cataract
Lazy river’s destiny—
Crushing waters roar
Creator’s spirit
Tall grasses reach to heavens—
Prairie much alive
Forgotten praises
Empty bag of rhetoric—
Tomorrow seeks peace
Leaving yesterday
Breath of peace rises with sun—
Working together
Lost in words’ meaning
Seeking honest dialogue—
Today, peace ignites
Endless, winding path
River’s poetic treasures—
Unique in spirit
Flowing with purpose
River chases horizon—
Map never needed
Night’s curtain rises
River’s peace always on time—
Morning’s stillness breathes
Wishing to dine out
Reservations all filled up—
Home’s dinner for two
Morning’s coffee spot
No longer waiting in line—
Brewing cup at home
Gift-wrapped retirement
Immersed in new adventures—
Life’s blessed pairing
Quelling emotions
Welcome each blossoming change—
Sunrise sets table
Friend’s steady guidance
Tomorrow’s journey brightens—
Today’s welcome steps
Encouragement’s light
Harvest of welcome choices—
Resilience well-knit
