Thankful for My Family - A Haiku Holiday

 Tender fall of leaf

Awakens the memory

Love of family

Always vibrant love

Mom giving and Dad teaching

Sisters accepting 

A sweet word kind smile

Thankful for the gifts given

Warming heart and soul

REALIZE

Today I realized so very much 

Each moment that has a sense of wonder

The pounding drive to go forward

It is in these moments 

And the reflection thereof that lessons are learned

In them we gain an understanding of the plan for our lives

Our eyes are widened to take in the Wonder of God

Our hearts swell to receive His love

Morning Gift

There's a Rainbow
Beyond My Window
Oranges, Yellows, Greens and Purples
On Leaves Grown By Heaven

Changed By Refreshing Seasons
Set In Motion By The One
Who Spun The Very Earth On Its Axis

He Who Transforms The Rainbow
Across the Landscape
The Same Will Do
A Work In Me

Orange Can Mean Power, The Color Yellow A Gift
Eternal Life Is Found In Green, Purple Means Majestic
YOU Are All Of These

Thank You For My Morning Gift
Reminding Me Of The Ever Present Beauty All Around
Knowing You Are Able To Manipulate The Canvas Of My Character
Just As You Hold Nature, You Hold Me
