Happy Mother's Day - to my mother-in-law - an awesome mom and grandmother!

Her Legacy Silver hair upon her head Wrinkles that line her brow A twinkle in her eye And her smile, as we walk by You’ll notice in her lap A worn and tattered book Firmly, gripped between her hands To say … with that gentle look Remember to pray, God hears you Remember to read, God talks to you...

A blustery spring day ...

Monuments in Shades of Green Spring adorns branches with jewels, pearls and rubies, morphing into towering majestic monuments in shades of green.

Life's Snapshots ...

First Love Opening the iron clad doors; Her heart’s entrance, walls erect The air lightens and thins, releasing her To breathe in the ubiquitous, frivolity of youth Laughter swells and cares drift away A musky, endearing fragrance permeates the air Like a thick cloud saturating her essence.

Another of life's snapshots ...

Her Brother She frantically runs to him, To him alone she must race Finding safety, her sanctuary while shivering with fear. He stands for good while evil lurks close by.
