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

As we shared stories, The warm hum of voices heard, A cup of love spilled.

Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart

Red bird perched on a tree limb laced with snow. So happy to see him and the joy he brings.

Last night I dreamt that I floated above the clouds, above the earth and my heart

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

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

Red and gold leaves Falling, Sing to me Of the season of change, Before the snow,

The flesh withers as we age But our inner spirit Remains the same. And when the body dies The spirit breaks free

Red, yellow and orange leaves Fall quickly now And create a tapestry of color That fill my mind With joy.

Birds flying here and there, landing on branches to chirp and bare, their heart. A private club among the trees with their own private code.

On this New Year’s Eve Direction lost Drifting like blowing snow To and fro. A freeze comes

Driving down the road, The song, “Let It Be” Came on the radio. Taking me back to Various scenarios.

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