Autumn

Bare are the autumn limbs

leaves begin to abandon their nest

ground shimmers with dryness

leaves tumble by its lonely trunk

Cold days with windy movement

one shivers as they long for warmth

winter season is just a start

of cold months that come to us

One dreams of spring to come

happy in heart we remember

buds burst with their beauty

fulfilling our longing and hope

Until then we shall once again

continue our nature's journey

as one ages it becomes easier for

the hustle and bustle is behind us

As Fall Goes Into Winter...

As Fall Goes Into Winter  

Leaves upon the ground

brown dry blow'in in the wind

comes this cold fall day

with blueness deep in the sky

Christmas lights appear 

in the windows close by

those eager for the second

holiday event to begin

Kitties watch the leaves

tumble from corner to corner

of the window sill where they sit

hope to join in the outside fun

Not today - it's too cold

maybe tomorrow a stroll outside

a rustle and bustle they both

playfully look forward to...

winter's playful stage is here

for all of us once again

Peace to All

Warmth within the soul

runs high this time of year

starts with Thanksgiving

with the thought of turkey

and all the trimmings

and leads into Christmas

as we remember all the gifts

laughter and joy comes as

one is grateful for the season

that claims the hearts

it begins seasonal peace

as we greet each other

smiles on faces as we travel

the paths of our lifestyles

gentle hellos to strangers

on the busy street

we might ask if one needs help

or assistance today

all are lifted by the atmosphere

that surrounds the human race

this year peace comes slowly

as one widens their own births

to grow with acceptance thus,

peace in the heart continues

to grow until one day...

all will be right with the world

I'm All Fixed!!!

Me Kitty Patched!!!

Being uneasy can go a long ways

from slight to overwhelming

my fear is gone thanks to Him

and tremendous support from all

Total success was my surgery

large cataract 1 hr and 5 min to remove
usually 30 min - nurses gave great care

that put me at ease and peace

I am so grateful to all

next eye when it is ready

will be a 'piece of cake', for sure!

that's what they all told me...

their words ring loud and clear
