Young And Alive

.

“Know that there

is often hidden

in us a dormant

poet,

always young

and alive.”

.

― Paul de Musset

Elfje:

.

joy

big smile

laugh out loud

glad to be alive

happiness

.

Haiku:

.

wind whispers through trees

background rhythm for the birds

birds who sing God’s praise

.

Poem:

.

Good words we want to hear
Celebrating the best of times
Knowing we have nothing to fear
Listening to the church bell chimes

Wonderful news that makes the heart sing
Hopes and dreams that all come true
After winters despair a beautiful spring
Watching the flowers come into view

Mother Nature donning her finest
Love and kindness fills every soul
All of the world at it’s brightest
To make the mind and spirit whole

Being the person God wants us to be
Friendship needs no words between you and me

with one’s

the rhythm

the earth speaks

mother nature waxes poetic

Haiku:

rainbows perfect arc

leading to the pot of gold

puddles and flowers

Poem:

.

thank you soldier
I live a life or ease
with epaulets upon your shoulder
my freedom is your guarantee

from the American Revolution
to today’s police action
you defend the Constitution
democracy your sanction

only one day a year we celebrate you
that effort certainly pales compared to what you do
today we thank you on our blog
hoping it will become an eternal epilogue

Thanks to all who sacrificed and all who serve.
