Fresh in my mind,
After all these years.
The lullabies
He sang to me
Every night, but I never heard completely.
Roared when he sang before dark.
Soft as a feather after.
Dare I listen to one full lullaby.
Amid life, I hope not.
Years, many years would have to pass by.

F-resh flowers breathe the fragrance,

Breathtaking color adorns the trees;
Each leaf gets painted with Nature's brush.
Autumn transforms Summer's green with ease,
Utilizing shades that make leaves blush.
Tinged yellow, orange, scarlet and gold;
Incredible landscapes are conceived.
Fall is spectacular to behold,
Unparalleled beauty is achieved;
Literally, sculpted by the cold.
Fresh frescos and murals dot the ground,
As brisk breezes send leaves on their way.
Lightheartedly tossing leaves around;
Like the whimsy of a child at play.

A-s the rain disappears,
L-ong night is gone;
F-resh morning has broken,
R-ays meet the dawn.
E-vening chill has faded, as the twilight is over;
D-ark dusk has vanished, haze and mist leave the air.
S-hadows have just turned
I-nto a new day so bright;
D-ay twelve of March month
L-ets the sky seek the light.
A-nother birth is remembered,
C-elebration creates happiness;
A-ffair and occasion of joy
N-ever keep the sadness.

A day to view magnificent color when
F resh apples and pears cling to trees and autumn
A utomaticly turns deep olive green leaves
L epid burgundy, gold, deep red some fall drift
L azily or lifted by zephry air or blow on by
D elighting all eyes that view change and my
A rt paints what beauty passes by my window
Y earning now for that color to start falling

Love is like a butterfly
making you feel like you are flying high in the sky
Love is like abreath off resh air
floating acoross the clouds with out a care
Love is doing all the things that
you like to do
Love is Just being with you.
Love is being with God and my family, my friends
and my small group
Jesus said Love one another as I have Loved you
he loves with an everlasting Love
how lovley it is to love every one even the ones who persecute us or the ones that dont like us
Love them anyway
because our Lord loves us just the way we are. Amen I love all my friends even the one that makes me cry.

Roses, may she collect them
Once in time and time again
So she gets them on a whim
Ever present rose on a limb
So hope her roses don’t dim
Fresh dozen just for my friend
Of my heart which never ends
Red roses to show I tend
Precious friendship for all time
Don’t forget the flowers find
!Their heart true, one of a kind
Russell Sivey
