What is the happiest moment of the… When I make someone laugh When I am of use for the good When I show kindness When I hold a hand

Summertime gives A chance to grow Under the sun, Travel, to new places And have some fun.

Old friends walking on the beach, the waves bring in, memories, of carefree days;

Unable to be all things For all people, Perhaps at one time, I tried. Those days are

Itchy eyes scaly feet achy joints and bad teeth hair so fine

Oh hummingbird Where are you now? Have you taken My courage with you? Oh hummingbird

An owl hoots on this cool, crisp Spring night. A sound that’s distant yet echos

Geese are honking As they fly Across an orange colored Sky. My spirit soars

Holy Holy Morning glory Blooming in a haze Of purple light. Holy Holy

Cold spring rain chills my body And yet, the birds fly in unison As if, it is a sunny day. The white tail deer Bounce through the ravine

Standing at a crossroad Between this life And the next, Heart in hand I knock on that

Time passing by now In a blink of the eye, In the clap of a hand, In the chirp of a bird, In a flash of light

On the brink of leaving, To go beyond These borders And say good-bye, To all you know,

Just a small part of me wants strife to go away, to return to a kinder time. Am I just losing courage? Life is draining me,

First snow of the season Came down light and gay, With it’s bright white, Reflecting, Off slow moving clouds
