Beauty Day 12
Find one beautiful thing every day and take a photo of it.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Day 12 Apples on a Wet Day
Unkempt Abundance
Joy and Decadence mixed
Life just beginning
Falling again
Visual Splendor
Hurrying by
Shuttered—
Silly Raindrop
Caught by Sky

Day 10 Wreath
I bought
a plain looking wreath
fresh cut, alive
I decorated it by hand
and hung it on my front door
It says W-E-L-C-O-M-E
Please come into my heart
and into my home

Day 8 Children’s Faith
The children led
the worship singing

Day 7 Pink
My granddaughter says
her favorite color is pink.
She’s three.
She loves to wear her brilliant pink tutus
jump on the bed, make forts, and tumble off the couch.
She’s never heard that “pink” for girls
is not pc.

Day 5 My Special Friend
We’ve both been sick with flu and cold going on two weeks.
Today came our regular Thursday breakfast out—Yay!!
This means McDonald’s.
But I like Monster Biscuits.
We agree the seats are hard at this other place
and the ambience cold.
So we planned our tactic the night before.
He would bring a brown bag and the coupons.
We’d hit the local competitor, then over to McDonald’s.
Once there he sat down with the brown bag
the padded seats and the brighter ambience
while I ordered the senior coffee.
We pulled this off! What a guy!

Poem for a Nearly Spring Day
I see the sky
I climb
I rise
The hills are green
I tire
I fall
I sleep and rise again
Turning
Stumbling
Rising
Falling
Rising
Lost
Undone
Confused
Never abandoned
For at each turn
Each bend
I find a friend
Always the same
The same friend
Who knows my name
Who watches over me
Waiting, singing, for me
To greet me finally
To welcome me…
…my dear friend.
