Beauty Day 167 Down

Hopping on the scale this morning

as nimble as a nymph

(not)

a beautiful sight awaited me

the needle on the dial

it never lies that needle

’twas moving in the right direction

a small bit of encouragement

encouraging greater things

the head is where things happen

before reality sets in

I promise you won’t be sorry, scale

this inch will mean a mile

Beauty Day 166 Two Flowers

Nasturtiums help me pretend

that I don’t live where it’s hot and dry

that I live where it’s wet and cool

but these nasturtiums are nursed

and as the season progresses

they wane

neither able nor wanting

to continue in lies

Alyssum is nature’s little joy

showing kindness where none is required

giving constant bloom

expecting nothing in return

my whole street has been seeded

by alyssum’s generosity

Beauty is a child in Africa

who thinks you’re special

because you pay for her books

got a letter from her today

so much better than before

thanks Lord for cheering me up

I was worried about her
