My Beautiful Rose

Wrapped in silken petals
Revealing layers of velvet gold
Colors of my morning
Reflect each beautiful fold
Displaying perfection
Each petal’s satin bed
The softness of each pillow
Like fallen tears ~ that melt
Blossoming in the glow of sunlight
Her bouquet of God’s perfume
Swaying in the breeze
That touches each beautiful bloom

The Essence of your life

The Essence of your life,
Is measured by the heart of your soul
The kindness in your heart
Defines who you are ~ your mold
Tomorrow’s promise
Ignites our hopes and dreams
~ A sense of purpose
Influences all that life truly means

Weeping Willow

As the weeping willow drapes against the purple sky
Tiny drops of heaven twinkle in my eye
Her leaves droop to skim the waters’ edge
Creating ripples that float and dance against the ledge
Cascading like a fountain, it shadows the horizon’s frame
A silhouette of beauty, against the glow of the sun’s flame
Swaying in the breeze, such graceful motion
Such beauty on earth, God’s gifts touch my emotion
Nature’s wonders ~ treasures of so much worth
True gifts of God’s creations; right here on earth.
As the butterfly’s flutter, as wide as her wings will spread
Against the blue horizon reflected in the sun’s yellows and reds
An amazing array of splendor, true gifts from God to me
Each creation so taken for granted in all of it’s majesty
So flawless in purity, nature’s richness in full bloom
I give thanks to the heavens, as I smile to the silver moon

Rose bud dance

The rose bud dances to the color of her dignity
Each alluring petal, blossoms delicate purity
Gracefully she pirouettes in a swirl of calming motion
Exposing vulnerability, inside her sensitive emotion
Quietly, silently ~ she sings her lullaby
Encouraged by the wings of an elusive butterfly
A silhouette of splendor graces the setting of the sun
God’s gifts of nature ~ pure wonder; every one
The blossom of the rose ~ the butterfly seduce
God’s gifts of beauty ~ intense, so profuse

Painted Memories

As you paint the skyline of your horizon
In hues of golden thread
Where Yesterday’s moments
Are today’s memories
Wrapped in colors you’ve spread
Float in the memories, defined through time
Linger in the world of your dreams
Where all your treasured memories
Are the very soul of your being
Each pivotal moment remembered
Should be savored to last through time
To be treasured through your existence
Engraved in every mountain climbed
Life’s wealth can only be measured
By the heartbeat of each memory created
For memories are the anchor of your future
To thrive within you ~ celebrated

Yesterdays moments blend

Yesterday’s moments
are a blend
of colorful memories
A painted rainbow of
 colors in your life
Weaved into the silken
fabric
~ threading stories
of love ~ of life
As you mold and shape
your identity
 Defining you ~
….and of what will be
Drink the beauty
of each precious moment
Count your blessings
~ Live happily

Sunset beauty

As the sun sets on another beautiful day
And the sky rearranges its colors
I watch in awesome wonder
As the day folds into another
Time escapes to nowhere
A minute becomes an hour too soon,
Evolving into days so quickly
Another sunset afternoon
Dissolved in all my yesterdays
Inside every sunset and sunrise
~ Another living memory
Another blessing of being alive
