Fateful ember glows
Another shared memory—
Seeing tomorrow
Kindness extended
Grace added with every breath—
Character defined
Diploma in hand
Open road’s invitation—
Adventures ahead

High standards can be contagious. But it doesn’t necessarily happen through osmosis.
Just as love is a verb, so is faith.
Nannie Helen Burroughs (1879-1961) was an American educator and religious leader.
From Proverbs 15:15: “All the days of the poor are hard, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.”
Life draining, more exhausted each day
Skies and mind, filling with darkest gray
Feet feeling locked, stuck in deepest mud
Fear turns on its spigot, now a flood
Advice shouts from all comers, all sides
Inner soul overwhelmed, faith divides
Daily walk, no longer stunning bright
Chaos reigns, becoming lasting night
Seasoned man, parked at Main Street’s corner
Life hits pause, who is this foreigner?
His thoughts and words, simple in their task
Holy Spirit reaches, to unmask
Keep it simple, fill your life with love
God’s peace, bringing comfort from above
In an instant, the wise sage departs
Night transforms to day, love fills this heart
From 1 John 5:3-4: “ For the love of God is this, that we obey His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome, for whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.”

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.
Mark Twain (1835-1910) was an American author and humorist. He has often been praised as one of America’s greatest humorists, and American writer William Faulkner called him “the father of American Literature.”

Another morning rises
Hourglass filled with time
Adventures waiting
Spirit’s gentle touch leaves nighttime
Another wakening heart
Hourglass filled with time
Emotions sailing
Distant dreams surface to bell’s chime
Another page opens up
Hourglass filled with time
Happiness smiling
Nature’s radiance sure to climb
Another wilderness road
Hourglass filled with time
Transitions breathing
Tasting sweetest life, in its prime
Tomorrow naps in shadows
Hourglass filled with time
Hopefulness praising
Unending day, please no bedtime
