Notes About The Poem

Welcome, Sweet Storms

God taking care of our
                   lengthy drought.
              Rain, from His precious
                   hands, cannot be bought.
             Yes, power outages may
                    indeed return.
             Prefer water for plants and
                     all animals,
             Than our great forests being
                    once again, being burnt!
             Thank you for my life on the
                     lovely, West Coast.
            Time to be grateful, eating
                    fragrant French toast!

Our earth has so many beautiful sights. God's hands always touching us with it's beauty, but also of our well being. Many blessings my friend

A man of adventure you area, how impressive Tim. I woukd never have known, this, had you shared your exciting times. The GG Bridge and SF are in many of my poems. I used to run each morning and see the sun hit it. Quite an ethereal view. And a forever memory. You are a brave man, wow! Thank you for catching the power in the lines. I write in conversational English.it works best for me, and appreciate other other kinds as well. Spring will be lush in wine country. Thank you, Panagiota

Great inspiring poem no need to panic , hope you enjoy your toast : ) can't control what happens day by day , but we can seek God to be in control of us which, in its own is enough : ) to become the eternal flame that withstands all that comes our way . I hate to see any tradedy things take place but for many its an awakening to not take day by day for granted, pulling people together, May God give you peace, comfort and rest in these times, take care, love y'all

Hi Stephen, indeed, I can only control myself. Some pets despise giving any power to God.)) let’s see them tell God how To run this world.so far, man continues to lie and harm others. We have billions of mini gods in charge? Really? A little humility goes a long way, toast was great! I am in a serene space. Bless you, Stephen, Pangiota
