Refreshing, Relaxing
Recreation-
Re-creation…
Time with family
Playing with a child
Talking with the grown-ups
Smiling and laughing
Remembering those gone on
Cherishing those present
Soaking up sunshine
Feeling the breeze
Watching the sunset
Refreshing, Relaxing
Recreation-
Re-creation…
This morning as I drove to school, I passed a truck and noticed the company name… Otto’s Parking Marking. What do you think? A case of a rhyme gone wrong or a smart way to get customers remember the business? I couldn’t decide…
A soft breeze and
The crescent moon
Catch my attention and
Make me pause to be
Still
Calm
Happy
Present in the moment
Momma(95): Can you look in that drawer and get me a tube of lipstick? I need a new one.
Daughter(60 something): Looks puzzled, then brightens- You mean chapstick?
Momma: nods, grunts
Daughter: Here it is…
Momma: That’s not what I need!
Daughter: But you just said…
Momma: Toothpaste… I meant tube of toothpaste… Starts laughing
Daughter: Belly laugh …At least we kept it all in the mouth…
Spring trees blossom quickly
One day branches are bare
The next dotted with buds
Then little green leaves appear
And suddenly, a burst of color
It happens year after year
Still, it is a happy surprise
An ordinary miracle-
An extraordinary little
Burst of joy
Beauty is burning
Crowds gather- watch, sing, mourn, pray-
Resolve to rebuild
A nation’s sorrow
Now visible
Never forget
So great a sorrow
