God sometimes pauses.  Do we, too, have the patience to wait?

Martin Luther Quote

Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.

From John 11:25-26:  “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.  Those who believe in Me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.  Do you believe this?”

Memories of Home

Ever homeward

Waiting destination

Year after year

Leaving last train station

 

Traveling forward

Allowing no backward glance

Final ticket punched

Cashing in for final dance

 

Journey’s sunset

Saying “hello” once more

Second chances

Taking life’s encore

 

Garden filled with dreams

Sprouting memories of home

Season to season

Riding free, ready to roam

 

Yesterday’s clues

Arriving with each breeze

Earmarked answers

Lighting up home’s marquee

 

Infinite sunrise

Forsaking final “good-bye”

Irreplaceable

Greeting Montana’s Big Sky

This poem reflects upon many memories of my native state of Montana, which will always seem like home.  Perhaps each reader will experience his or her own homeward journey of memories, just waiting to be revisited again.

Stand-Up Comics Quotes

Robin Williams (1951-2014)

The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.

Dick Gregory (1932-2017)

The only good thing about the good old days is they’re gone.

Robin Williams was recognized for his gifted comedic skills as well as your dramatic acting roles in film.  He mastered the art of improvisational comedy.

Dick Gregory’s life was much more than just being a stand-up comedian.  His voice of leadership became active in civil rights, and his books were bestsellers.

Bursting Free

Finally, spring bursting free

Playful nature shares its toys

At long last, wintertime flees

Every blossom spreading joy

 

Until needed later on

Winter’s layers stored away

Coats, scarves, hats, mittens . . . all gone!

Cooler clothing on its way

 

Every day, more green arrives

Essence of freshly cut grass

Sun leads chorus of high fives

More sparkling than clearest glass

 

Clouds away on vacation

Big sky forming overhead

Gardens erupt with color

Warmer days racing ahead

 

Farmers ready to sow crops

Stewards of earth’s blessed land

Fed with sun and rainy drops

Autumn’s harvest soon at hand
