Bewond the city lights
The stars shine bright.
Not dimmed by lights below
Unseen be those beneath the glow
...

It took God to make a tree.
Study its lessons free.
Great are the wonders of His ways,
There are preparations for many days.
...

Not feeling well is cause to seek the herb garden.
Let us meet the contents standing guard.
Some plants used for centuries gone by
Holding secrets that work, is why.
...

Many times destiny seems to call
Was it all handwriting on the wall

Difficulties over shadow the day
...

The author opens the notebook to an empty page
To display the craft, to embed another image
Record another tale, try another style
Research well, check the file, may take awhile.
...

Why miss out on:
The dawning of the day?
The sunrise first ray?
...

Grandma's vine is still growing fine Storing nutrients for another time.
...

The old prospector works alone
Seeks his find, makes it his own
The book on the shelf lays silent alone
Until the words find a home
...

When the son rises to the north
Of the old north barn
And the day begins early
Out there, on the farm.
...

When it is school reunion time,
Walk again the old school halls.
Memories, emotions, review it all.
The auditorium, stage, and curtain call.
...

Lets chat awhile, country style
With a friend whose hair is silver lined.

Who tells of ways of his youthful days
...

Last day of school the teacher said,
'You have had all you need to know'.
The elated first grader shared the news
With mother, that learning thing was taken care of.
...

Time was when:
Gods words were learned the spoken way
By those who came by to tell the story
Of the Saviour who came from glory.
...

Lost in deep essence of the mind,
Search for truth, true and kind.
Who knows what is there to find?
What is in the travels of the human mind?
...

Thank You for the message in the rose.
It is slowly told as it unfolds.
Nourished by the sparkling dew,
Waiting for sunlight to come through.
...

The farmer and his pickup are not far apart.
Its multipurpose is a true art.
The end-gate is the official board meeting place.
It is here major decisions are given space.
...

Real life scenes can make the artist's day.
Norman Rockwell left many on display.
The rest of the story revealed a stay.
...

Beyond our control,
The Maker holds the script.
One day at a time, find what is.
...

Words are free, facts remain
Thoughts live on, truth to retain

Choose a pathway simple and plain
...

What a wonderful thought to be thinking!
We are trusting in the living Son of God.
There are believers found in Him.
They found His guidance can win.
