Today I have a day off from work,
The first of seven altogether.
Summer is gone, Autumn chills the air
So no co-operation from the weather.
I spent the morning reading poetry,
Trying to find inspiration.
So that when I finally put pen to paper
I would come up with a fantastic creation.
My mind keeps wandering to things I should do,
Not things I want to, I'm afraid.
For there's errands and shopping and cleaning and such
And of course there's bills to be paid.
So instead of wonderful poetry
My pen seems to be making lists
Of all the things I should do today.
I think you can get the gist.
But even if today is a wash
I still have six more to go.
Perhaps tomorrow I'll find the perfect poem
To create... You just never know.
Life's odyssey provides us with precious moments untold.
It is well now and then as the vicissitudes of life unfold,
To pause and ponder times that each were great or small,
That bring a smile as those treasured moments we fondly recall!
To hold your bride in your arms and lift her veil of lace,
Kissing her tenderly and seeing the love shining in her face!
The smile of your newborn babe as you cuddle it the first time,
Counting its fingers and toesies is a feeling so sublime!
On a snowy winter's eve sipping wine with your love by the fire,
Planning and dreaming of things to which you would aspire.
Fellowship with kids and grandkids at your glowing hearth;
Recalling memories, 'tis the most heart-warming feeling on earth!
The glory of a magnificent sunset as the sun ends its daily quest.
An exquisite panorama frozen for a moment in the sky to the west.
Or marvel at a colorful rainbow after the raging storm has passed.
All wondrous gifts from The Creator that cannot be surpassed!
Tho' our existence is sometimes riddled with sorrow and strife,
Re-living dear moments can help ease the tribulations of life.
When the fleeting days of the autumn of our lives draw near,
Reflecting upon precious moments becomes e'er more dear!
