Magnificent Trees

Some trees stand tall and
some trees branch out in the forest.
It is neat how some can stand in a row.
Tree branches paint pictures in the sky,
when the wind blows.
I love the smell of some trees. 
Trees can be magical to me at certain times
of the year.

Movies Take Me Away

Fantasy is what a movie is to me,
a dream to a faraway land.
I can be a character along with the ones
on the screen.
A chance to dive right into the story.
It has always been that way for me
from a young age.
My mom would read me a story
and make it come alive for me. 
I can do that for myself when 
I watch a movie.

Struggling With Worries

We all struggle with worries

from time to time.

It’s part of our human condition.

For some of us, worrying can take over

and we don’t know what to do.

We need help, but that’s ok.

We know that God will heal,

still, we need extra help.

We need to talk it out with

someone who can help.

That struggling is real for us.

It can overwhelm us and

gets carried away.

I have learned ways to help me,

I have people I can talk to,

I can breathe.

I have faith that all will

eventually, work out.

Some Anniversaries

Today is a hard day, I'm longing for someone.

Someone who has gone before me, he has

gone home to God a year ago today.

I long to laugh with him and to share stories.

I remember other people too. My love ones

who have gone home too. I long to tell them

I love them, give them one more hug.
