Endless
Gentle breeze blowing
Autumn leaves fluttering down—
Fading memories

Relief
Pollen count drops low
Refreshing air we now breathe—
Morning rains arrive

Hiding
Morning’s early dawn
Fog blankets each creek and pond—
What mysteries wait?

Gentle breeze blowing
Autumn leaves fluttering down—
Fading memories

Pollen count drops low
Refreshing air we now breathe—
Morning rains arrive

Morning’s early dawn
Fog blankets each creek and pond—
What mysteries wait?

Seeds sown and watered
Only God provides the growth—
Living with purpose

Through grace and mercy
God offers us Salvation—
Won by our Savior

Trusting Holy Truth
Discovering our new self—
Our true home in Christ

Totally absorbed
Where did the afternoon go?
Reading a new book

Tuesday afternoon
Never missing preciousness—
Granddaughter’s tea time

Friday afternoon
Seconds, minutes, hours announce—
Five o’clock somewhere

Hero’s life seems stuck
Unanswered questions abound—
Pausing, writer’s block

Feeling overworked
Watching over eager lad—
Guardian angel

Running to the bus
Excited for his school day—
Pizza pie for lunch

Leading precious sheep
Rod and staff always comfort
Caring tenderly

Call upon the Lord
His love fills with righteousness—
Accepting His Grace

Our Father is near
Safeguarding our hearts and minds—
Rejoice in His peace

Daily walk of faith
One step after another—
Following Jesus

Love be genuine
Feed enemy with goodness—
Overcome with good

Lost in wilderness
God’s GPS brings us home—
Walk never alone

Morning
Internet outage
Experiencing suspended animation
Blank screen stares back
Stuck

Perfection
Constantly searching
Patience wearing thin
Never will be content
Impossible

Always
Forgiving everything
Kind and compassionate
Never holding a grudge
Puppy

Blessings with God’s joy
Lifetime moments, fulfilling—
Marriage joins as one

Eternity smiles
Husband and wife forever—
Maturing love lasts

Bride and groom unite
Faithful under our Lord’s love—
Lifelong memories

Early morning view
Magic mirror never lies—
Seeing perfection

Car slides into lake
GPS wet with errors–
Where did my map go?

Sweetest tooth talking
Escaping the day’s heat wave—
Hi Baskin-Robbins

Thinking Stephen King
Blood, sweat, tears filling each page—
Typing my novel

Bringing flowers home
Husband with best intentions—
Wilting with sadness

Golf is like taxes
Driving hard for the green, yet—
End up in the hole
