In amongst the green
Leaves, quietly behaved, I
Spot a hint of blue
The best gift given to me
Is difficult to decide
How would one choose between ‘Flower Post’
Hand delivered to my home address
By a special little girl –
Or would I choose a Home-Baked cake
In the flag of my Home Land as a
Surprise for my birthday in April of this year?
Any ideas – how could one even make a
Choice between these two?
A new day has dawned
The morning sun filtering
Delicately into the room
Bringing its version of light
Beckoning me
To awake and to arise
To emerge myself in the day
That would lie ahead
I hear the chirping of birds
Cars driving by
Melodies of creation far and near
Different sounds of nature’s songs
Filling my heart with
A joyful gladness of being alive
On this new day
A precious gift to humankind
And to creation that would us surround
To have a world that we may enjoy
Graciously thought out in its being
Wondrous marvel
My life could be taken today
What would be my parting words
What would I like my testimony to be?
That I was alive and I lived and felt
Gave thanks and loved
Giant golden leaf
Dwarfing any that may be
Drawn to its presence
Bright Yellow Sunshine
To be admired, captured
By exquisite Rose
Newborn Mulberries
Shyly hiding in their tree
Blushing, nearly ripe!
Purple’s pale sister
Standing side by side for short
While, then say goodbye
One day only! Nature’s time
Passionate purple
Petals so perfectly placed
To form a flower
Confetti flowers
Sprinkled like nature’s diamonds –
Spring’s gift to her tree!
Pink tissue paper
Nestled amongst tree green leaves
Taking flower form
