Cool
Fall Days, when the vibrant colored leaves are just beginning to fall
Cold Winter Days, when the sound of a
crackling fire helps to add warmth to the room
Breezy Spring Days, as new leaves and
bright flowers peak out over a once dead earth
Balmy Summer Days, where the winds
slowly blow out over the ocean and carry sand onto the shore
Each day of each season, to be a time
of beauty and self-expression of the wonder of the individuality and difference
of everything.
Life is like a box of chocolates…
Childhood
is like a piece of peppermint.
Each day one to be enthusiastically
tasted, and tried while shifting from one side of the mouth to the next.
Adolescence is like pop rocks.
They burst and pop almost painfully
and yet unable to be put down or to quit trying.
Young Adult years are like orange
peanuts
They disappear and rush by with almost
no noticeable effect until they are almost gone.
Adult life is like a fine piece of
chocolate.
It is to be eaten slowly and cherished
because once it is gone, there is no more.
Time
Time is like falling leaves in
October.
Yellow,
Orange, Red—each leaf different as it flutters to the ground.
Time
is like a stream in the mountains.
Curling,
Rippling, Rushing—each new rock and turn in the water.
Time
is like a beach during a storm.
Lightning,
Thunder, Crashing—each new wave bringing a new idea and a new sound to the
shore.
Time
is like sand in an hourglass.
Slowly,
Steadily, Constantly—each grain of sand falls until there is no more.
Time
is always changing—sometimes slow, sometimes rushing by, determined only by
what you do and what you make of it.
I Am…
I am a Teddy Bear
Both fluffy and snuggly
I am security and loving hugs
I am sometimes used and abused
But I am forgiving and forgetting
I am long cherished and always present
Even in the background
This is Just to Say…
This is just to say I love you.
I love your
deep thoughts that I can see flickering in your dark blue eyes.
This
is just to say I need you.
I need your
strong arms that wrap around me so tight as the lightning flashes in the
This
is just to say I enjoy you.
I enjoy the
way you laugh when nothing funny was said out loud, only a look was given.
This
is just to say I love you.
I love so many
things about you, your laugh, your smile, your wit, your wisdom…you.
