Playtime
It’s recess time, the teacher said!Good job on all the books you read! Time for sunshine and fresh air!Leaving behind our every care! Time for tetherball and moreLucky ones, first out the door So important for our dayWe had to go outside to play! Why is this one of the memories so clear?Even through the…

The Infinite Heart
Walking through the floor of my heart, I see deep valleys of loveBright and shining acts of willing sacrificeLeaving resilient and strong chambersMany layers of both asking for and giving forgiveness, over and overWhich healed the red-hot angry potholes Here comes another surprising, painful and jagged sword Piercing through the core of this landscapePulsating with…

UPSIDE DOWN
Everything seems upside downEach and every scene turned around Look over here, not over thereCamouflaged, hidden, with great care Stories to incite anger and fearBringing to many red-hot tears Where is the rabbit pulled out of the hat?Why is the magic show falling so flat? When will the race swiftly come to an end?What is…

Music
When words don’t suffice and feelings are too deepWhen heaven feels so near and angels with us weep When all the stars seem to align with our fondest dreamsOr our little world surely seems torn apart at the seams When we want to immerse in dance and songAnd we desire our dearest ones come along…

Seasons and the Child
Did you see the change as it silently crept upon the earth?The cycle, the process, the Creator’s gift to all, and to the earthUnderneath this repeated scene, our muscles, fibers and bones hold a sweet memory of it Then there it is! The orange, yellow and red leaves appearThe earth is beautiful in every change…

Songs of the Soul
Sing a song to touch a heartAnd a song your day to start Songs in sorrow, grief or painSongs for dancing in the rain Deep inside a song rings clear and trueWhile waking, walking in glistening dew Soul-touching songs of the braveThose whose lives they freely gave Sing a song, a song of oldA story…

Gratitude
The leaves shimmer in the morning sunIt is magical to see them flutter in the windI can’t explain why it stirs my soul A tiny bird flies by me and I can hear his wingsThe bird sings louder than all others in that momentIt is a wonder to behold The deep pink blossoms sway in…
