February flyaway

A February Birthday Quickly Passsing!

I would feel free I thought
If only I could have a little
Bird and with it learn to fly
To soar to places far away and
Leave my thoughts behind!

beggars

***Following words are Selective Verses***
***From my Poem ‘The Purpose of a Tree’ Posted 1-13-26***

. . . AND one day walking by
A flutter of wings by me fly
And to my surprise upon
A limb some caring one hung
A feeder of seed and bread . . .

– Yellow birds
– Black birds
– Red and white ones as well
–
All are fellows dining as
One
And I wondered why we
Do not do as them?

“Are we not beggars telling
Other beggars where to find
Bread?”
Quote Martin Luther

hope

HOPE is the thing I hoped
For most
Of which I could not see
Like a bird perched upn a
Tree
Just when I thought I caught
It, it flew away from me
AND then I heard a song
And supposed I caught a
Tune
When the wind snatched a
Flower hiding from the sun

FOR hope I must wait again
Till it knocks upon my door!

the plight of the lily

ONE day we will understand
what our minds here failed
to comprehend

HOW each grain of sand
holds an ocean full of water

HOW the sky is tightly
fastened between earth and
heaven

AND yet of all these things
so high and mighty
I sometimes fear

THEN I am reminded
in spite of mans cruel hate
the flight of the bird never
hesitates

AND from a long winter’s night
the plight of the lily still
struggles in her search for light

AND when in my darkness
for lack of sun

IN time LIGHT will surely come!

seeking love

__

LOVE _ Is like a chapter
In the garden of life

AN _Hour glass of
Time quickly passing

CHASING _ Daisies 🌼 and
Rainbows 🌈 quickly fading

SHORT Winter days and

Long lonely evenings

AS A child I sought her
BUT _ LOVE _ Found me
When I for her stopped

SEARCHing!

snow moon

February 1, 2026💙

LAST night a lamp within
The sky

A moon of silvery white

With her numbered hands
The hour strikes just in time

UPON the earth below
Snowflakes fall upon the ice

THE stars sing and smile

A magical wonderland before
Their eyes

IN just a few days or two our

‘SNOW MOON’

Will bring a lovely Valentine
for you!💚

February the month of love

Voice is heard
‘I spoke to GRACE’

She spoke not back
‘I spoke to TRUST’
She turned her
face
‘I spoke to FAITH, I spoke to
HOPE’
These too did fail
‘I spoke to LOVE she spoke
back’

Of all these things
Trust – Hope – Faith – May remain
But LOVE never fails!

hitchhike to heaven

Saying Goodbye to the Month

of January – Where some of our

Jouneys begin!

It is a difficult road

I have taken on this
road to heaven

My load is heavy and
I am forsaken

Preachers, teachers

friends
I look to all of them
to help me get in

Holding my thumb up
high

hoping for a ride

They wish me well and
pass me by
I don’t know how long
I can do this
I cry, I weep

all the rules I keep

Run and run, busy, busy

Every day I confess
What more can I do?

Throwing up my hands I
quit – There is
nothing!
IT IS A GIFT!

“For it is by Grace we are saved
It is a gift” Book of Ephesians

a closet full of time ⏱

I’ve stored many garments
in the closet of time
Ones of worry and concern
that did not fit me well
I have tried to mend them
but my thread is too fine
and my needle too dull

My doubts interfere and I
fear for my body a lack
of clothes 👚
When in the distance a field
of lilies beckon me
“We never toil, nor spin our cloth
Yet in fine linen and
gold we are finely dressed”
“Do not be afraid, for a robe
of faith will be given that
fits you well” 😋
