Alternating with awe and amazement
Belief breathes blessings, brilliant and bright
Calming, creative and colorful – so calm
Dreaming of dainty, delicate delights
Endlessly eager to eliminate evil
Friendly and full of feelings so faithful
Graceful, giving, glorifying God
Hopeful, heartening, a happy heart
Inspiring imaginations and insights
Joyfully jabbering with jaded jests
Keeping kindness with a keener kaleidoscope
Loving, living, laughing, lighting lives
Making music, melodies to make merry
Noels, nativities and needs being nurtured
Open odes and olive branches offered
Promises of peace, prosperity and praise
Quiet and quaint quotes on queries
Reflections and reminders of rare rhymes
Silent sounds, silvery and soft
Truths and talents tempting all to be thankful
Ultimately, using those in unbelievable unions
Visiting vibrant thoughts on velvety vistas
Wise and warm, welcoming worthy souls
Xerically xenogeny brought to xerophilous
Younger in years than in yawning yarns
Zestful zealots who live in heart zeniths

All Within

All Within
(Abecedarian)

As the night drifts down and
Braves the storm,
Chimes of the church bells
Dance to the rhythm while the 
Evening moon is reaching down,
Filling all hearts with calm.
Gentle rain is talking, all the
Hills turning green
In the twilight purple glow, the 
Joyous month of June
Keeps all the colors in tune.
Looking into the clear blue sky
Mother nature happily smiles.
Northern stars shining bright,
Outdoors heavenly light.
Poets heartfelt dream, a magic
Quill to write poetry for all the world to read.
Reflecting hills dressed in white,
Splendorous sparkling diamond like.
To feel the warmness of the rising sun
Unfolding life on earth forever,
Valiant and vigorously from above
Within His blessed love.
Xerophilous plants
Yawn in boredom, life in the 
Zoological garden goes on,
