Precious Prize

Darkness filled with silence

Night’s steady, hidden pulse

Forest waits with intrigue

Aching to act on impulse

 

Clouds mask glimpse of moonlight

Night’s mystery lurking

Trees holding back each breath

Listening, nature’s working

 

Twilight deepens with sleep

Night’s time for quiet rest

Something moves in secret

Finding ground, its final quest

 

Morning’s sunrise reveals

Night’s savored, precious prize

Tiny acorn ready now

Transforming, oak shall arise

Monday Memories: Innocence

Watching a curious child

Witnessing sparkles of joy

Blessing us with innocence

Seeing how life will deploy

 

Finding daily adventure

Lighting up another room

Reaching out with innocence

Moving with a speedy vroom

 

Revealing wonders of life

Surviving each bump and bruise

Shining through with innocence

Napping now, let’s take a snooze

 

Playing through daily lessons

Sharing love with extra zest

Teaching us with innocence

Enjoying life with each quest

The innocence of a child reaches out with honesty.  When we experience it, we are indeed blessed with another lesson from God.
