 Eyes Have It

 

Surgery

Hurting eye

Hurting head

I won’t lie

 

It’s been bad

A great trial

I can see

So I’ll smile

 

Pain will go

I’ll forget

Suffering

But not yet

 

It’s still fresh

Not quite done

Look ahead

To some fun

 

Thank You, Lord

For my eyes

And the docs

They’re so wise

 

Heal me now

This I pray

You’re my hope

You’re my way

Making Sense

 

The new year came with rain

I regrouped my to-dos

Avoided the news

The new year came with rain

 

My work is cut out for me

My calendar’s full

I feel its strong pull

My work is cut out for me

 

I look to the Lord to make sense

He clarifies my life

Gives me freedom, not strife

I look to the Lord to make sense

 

May I be a conduit, Lord

Of Your love and Your grace

As I seek Your face

May I be a conduit, Lord

 

I lift my eyes to the hope

Your promises in Christ

And His great sacrifice

I lift my eyes to the hope

 

I praise You my Holy Trinity

You are my everything

In You, I take wing

I praise You my Holy Trinity

 

You send the sunshine and rain

You provide for my needs

The sower and seeds

You send the sunshine and rain

 

The new year came with rain

I regrouped my to-dos

Avoided the news

The new year came with rain

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!

Standing on the Rock

While white waters whirl about

Honoring the Sun

Feeling safe

Comforted

Protected

Accepted

Forgiven

Hopeful

Vibrant

Joyful

Loved

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.

Birthday acrostic

 

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.
