Grace reveals a gentle kind
Holding love for all mankind.
No remorse or fathom angering
Just love, grace and kindness.
Revealed to all filled
With soft, loving mindfulness.

Grace Reveals A Gentle Kind
July 4, 2016
A Butterfly Came To My Feeder Today
July 1, 2016
A butterfly came
To my feeder today
She fluttered and fluttered
Then flew away.
Sweet nectar she searches
And sips with a touch
No matter the flower
Sweetness a must.
A butterfly came
To my feeder today
She fluttered and fluttered
Then flew away.

Know The Reason Why
June 30, 2016
Know the reason why
Don’t believe your soul
Would ever lie.
Accept its truth
Don’t deny your heart
Knows the reason why.

Never Before Did I
June 29, 2016
Never before did I
Feel the work of the Lord
Residing in everything.
Never before did I
Find a way to heal
The hurt felt when I was left
In a terrible bind.
Never before did I
See the magic a heart can do
To mend with love
Given unconditionally.
Never before did I
Be in the realm
Of a beautiful soul
Such as thee.

My Heart Is Aching
June 28, 2016
My heart is aching
I know not why
Sleeping softly
I cry
And cry.
Remorse only
Not knowing why
My heart aches
Breaking
As I cry.

The Sky Is Beauty
June 27, 2016
The sky is beauty
Flowers be
The most beautiful
Anyone could ever see.
Summers’ come
It’s weaving a warm, soft web
Enveloping all spring’s brought
From winter’s dread.

A Photo Album Large And Small
June 24, 2016
A photo album
Large and small
Depicts the life
We’ve had so far.
Not the heartache
Nor the scorn
Just the pleasures
To be adorned.
No master plan
Is in the works
Just something sweet
All fancied up.
A token of a lovely time
When the sun shone
And you were mine.

Can’t Help But See
June 23, 2016
Can’t help but see
The world living, unfolding
As it should be.
Can’t help but feel
The soft and gentle caring
Beneath my feet.
Can’t help but hear
A song of love
Filling each of my ears.
Can’t help but live
A life full of harmony
Can’t help but see all this, around me.

All Day Long
June 21, 2016
When I ran, played all day long
The hours were long, lasting all day long
Summer was at least a year
Warming all day, all day long.
Bees buzzed, birds sang all day long
Sweet scents on breezes waffling thru
As I played
Ran all day, all day long

Your Art Will Soar
June 17, 2016
Your book will be written
Your poems submitted
And your art will soar.
Smile, laugh
This is your time
To roar.
