Life goes on
With its pressures
Its frights
Its helplessness
Its threats
And discomforts

But your faith in goodness
Shows its true colors too
And at the brink of
Getting destroyed once again
You get to grab
The extended hand
Which
Hauls you up from the crevice

Promising to nudge you on to
Wide roads
Once again ,make you trudge on the lane to your destination!

The sky is overcast
It is raining
But it is raining love...

For the flowers are coming out
With the falling rain...

All seasons
Are acts of love-
God pouring love
On his creation-
This earth...

And he wants his creation-
Man
To savor all his acts of love...

So sing on
It is raining!

Today I took a walk
In the sun

Went and bought some books

Welcomed spring into my life
First time this year

I know what a whole lot
Has to be done
When the days are this precious

Wish me success

The sun already did!

And the books?
To be read by the poolside...

Today mom is in pain
It feels like my own.

I cry and fret
But she is far away...

When I talk to her
She is happy for my advancements
And prays for
Her grandson's wellbeing...

I yearn
To run to her
Alleviate

And want her to lean
On me again...

With spring, have come in
Many welcome changes

New beginnings
Chapters closing
Doors opening
On creaky hinges...

I am happy
As happy can be!

Friends cheering us on,
Dropping in.

Birds singing
Flowers blooming...

Happiness happening
In little twinges!

God, do bless us...

Heart singing
Winning accolades!
Sun shining
Unforgettable days!

Friends getting together
Rainbow anticipated...
Cheerfulness overflowing
Breath bated...

Domes and imposing buildings
Canals and fairytale brasseries
Magic Christmas markets
          Crepes and hot juice
Lights and colors
Cobbled streets and
Quaint countryside houses

Majestic mountains
Murmuring rivers

People who speak
Hesitant and lovely,
loving English...

Europe in winter
Is too much!
