Barefoot days
Shorts and T’s
Cool clear water
Garden fresh veggies
Warmth for body
Sun’s rays heating
Fans blowing, shade cooling
Welcome breezes stirring
Birds calling, dogs barking
Yard mowing, weed pulling
Storms rolling, rain falling
Golden sun rays, moist woods
Early morning and evening’s chill
Dew’s sparkle and quiet hush
Life and faith one day at a time
Summer’s rhythm speaks of contentment
A comfortable chair beside a fire
A jacket drawn tightly against day’s chill
The smiles bestowed on gloomy days
Sun-soaked sand upon bare feet
Soft fur of pets beneath chilled fingers
A baby cradled in one’s arms
Bright rays shining through window panes
Snuggled beneath covers on a winter day
A friendly touch and welcoming greeting
Hot cup of drink held between our hands
Homemade soup to sip and savor
Thoughts and remembrances bring to mind
Warm arms and warm hearts to warm one’s soul
Ah, blessed warmth inside and out
Standing at the threshold
What lies ahead
Sunlight gleams
Pointing the way
Pausing attuned
Listen to silence
Or the singing of birds
Peaceful and warm
Drawing breath deeply
Fragrances from life
Bring back memories
Poignant or comforting
Searching eyes seeking
Cool shadowed woodland
Bright lawns or gardens
Faces and homes
Reaching out a hand
Taking the first step
New year’s dawn brings
Anticipation and prayers
The Still Small Voice
