New Year Poem

 Hello 2026

 

Twenty-twenty five was kind and good,

But did I accomplish things as I should?

Seems likes this year’s goal list by name

(As last year’s) looks pretty much the same.

 

Oh, I did get a few things done.

Two trips in the first half of the year.

Still didn’t buy an ebike or kayak,

Or put up my writer’s website, I fear.

 

I worked two part time jobs,  

And kept my house and yard fairly livable.

So I’ve ben busy at this and that,

Maybe how I spent my time is forgivable.

 

And I look to twenty-twenty-six

Wondering what’s in store.

I have four big trips planned

And maybe even some more.

 

No matter how I spend my time,

Whether or not I suffer or have fun.

I’ll keep up my devotion to God,

Because He is my Number One!

While white waters whirl about

Honoring the Sun

Feeling safe

December 30^th

 

Twenty- twenty-five is wrapping up

It’s been mostly a satisfying year

Except for some unmet goals

 

Christmas decorations, still up

Daughter’s birthday celebrated

Twenty-twenty-five is wrapping up

 

A deeper relationship with God

Enjoyable times with friends and family

It’s been mostly a satisfying year

 

Three trips, two part-time jobs

Continue with my writing,

Except for some unmet goals

Love the Lord above all loves,
With all your heart, soul, and mind.
Then you’ll find it easier  
When kindness flows from above.

Happy Birthday, Rebecca

 

Happy birthday, Rebecca, may

All your days be bright

Peaceful, hopeful, full of

Power and might

You are a dear friend, a fine hiking

 

Buddy. We hike the trails together.

Interesting when it’s muddy

Remember all the fun

Times up montains and

Hills.  Spending the

Days, sometimes with spills. 

Always look to Him who keeps

You in His care, 

 

Remembering 

Emanual who is always there.

B e blessed, dear sister

Especially on your day,

Creating happy memories

Cheerful all the way

And with happiness to stay.

Hello Friend

 

Today marks the 44^th anniversary

of a wonderful beginning.

I remember in the middle of the night

looking into two dark steely eyes

and saying, “Hello friend.”

 

Oh, we’ve had our ups and downs,

like all mothers and daughters do.

But we remain friends.

Look Up

 

When mood is down and skies are gray,

Sometimes the Lord seems far away.

So look up, remember the great, bright sun,

And the One who is light.
