Notes About The Poem
God never puts more on us than we can bear..He always gives us an out..He opened a window for me to see the beauty of nature..

From My Kitchen Window

From my kitchen window, one single rose
red in color, bud opening, soft scent.
In distance golden leaves for picture pose,
adjust shutter snap capture heart's intent.

Heart's intent on beauty of God's creation;
not on pleasing three men with my cooking.
Although I serve them as the Galilean,
who came to serve, not to be served as King.

Long in heart to escape into nature,
feeling gentle breeze upon ancient face.
Fall's colors, cool dry air is the real lure.
These from my depressed being those blues chase.

Meals prepared while heart does looking outside.
Spirit lifted above, high thoughts reside..

Cooking while dreaming might leave them all screaming! But yes, cooking does leave time for dreaming. Nice one Sarah.

It must seem like the men don't appreciate your cooking, Sara. Why not let them cook a dinner -- they'll be more appreciative then. I love the message here about finding peace and solace in nature's beauty. God sent you a special gift with that rose bush blooming now. Enjoy! Love, Carolyn
