 Day 29-Rainbow Poem-Acrostic style

Rainbows are about hope

And Seeing another day

Innocent children drawing rainbows

New life and joyful laughter

Beautiful colors in the sky

One million wonderful ideas

When we see a rainbow

This picture is one of the many rainbows our daughter, Hanna, drew in her short innocent life.

Day 28-Pleiades Poem

 Day 28-Pleiades poem

Weather

Weather can drive you crazy

What do you need to wear?

When you have to make decisions

Will it snow or will it rain?

Which coat to choose

Wild and woolly wind

Why is Mother Nature a Yo-yo?

Day 27 - Octopoem

 Day 27-Octopoem

Sunday Thoughts

When I think of Sunday, I think of the color green

Green as in the Spring when we worship Christ

Christ as in that He died for me on the Cross

Cross as in what we need to think of to find Him all year

Year as in how we always need to wear our hearts on our sleeves

Sleeves as in what they touch when we kneel at the altar

Altar as in the one Christ knelt at on The Chosen

Chosen as in the bread and water we partake of willingly

Spring is lawn that needs mowing

Weeds that pop up everywhere

Blackberry bushes growing

Pear tree blossoms in the air

Everything is growing wild

Even all creatures feel it

The temperatures are mild

All creation is sunlit

Day 21-I Wish, But I Am Poem

 Day 21-I Wish, but I Am poem

I wish I could fly like a bird

Like the birds I see in the sky

And I dream of the sights I would see

I am dreaming of flying so high

I used to remember my dreams

But now I forget them right away

I seem to need to remember that bird

But I’m down on the earth, here to stay

Day 20-Free Choice

 Day 20-Free Choice

He climbed the hill

He said, “I will”

He showed the way

We all should pray

He is our Lord

Our hearts all soared

As we watched from our home above

Jesus is his name

He has no shame

His life foretold

By men of old

to save us all

From Adam’s fall

Because of His eternal love

So worship Him

And sing a hymn

Pray all the time

For love sublime

Down on you knees

These are the keys

To gain an eternal life

For each of us here

Near

D. E. A. R.

It’s Drop Everything And Read Day

A day to honor the author, Beverly Cleary

She wrote so many fun books

About Ramona and Beezus

Henry and Ribsy

Ralph the Mouse on the Motorcycle.

She opened worlds of wonder

And helped us to laugh at ourselves

She was a treasure to us all

Let’s each do our part today!

Read a book to ourselves

Read a book to a child or grandchild

Read a book to a neighbor

Read a book to a shut in

Books are important for everyone

So Drop Everything And Read!
