Jim Smither Poem
Have you ever thought about a stream slowly meandering
through a misty meadow?
Life is sometimes like this, where we flow along taking the
bends of the stream in stride…never really getting out of
control…but never really getting anywhere either..
There are times where the world comes at us quickly, the rushing
currents forcing us through rocky obstacles and safe
navigation becomes a priority…
Nature has a habit of resting when faced with these rushing
currents…where energy is replenished and the overwhelming
path ahead recedes from the forefront…
The streams of our lives are there to teach us something…if we
just flow by…we will get by…
But if we welcome the rocky obstacles before us…we will always
be exploring our destiny.

Jim Smither Poem
A waterfall is one of those visual experiences that fill
us with awe and an appreciation for the diversity of
nature. Waterfalls begin their life as a tiny tear or a
liquid mercurial ribbon of water.
Sparkling, musical, weaving their way around obstacles,
constantly seeking their path in the world.
A waterfall is not unlike the blood coursing through our
veins, nourishing, soothing, bringing life to the parched
regions that lie before it.
For in so doing it renews our spirit, lightens our soul and
transforms us to a better place.

Jim Smither Poem
Have you ever noticed how many stars appear and how brilliant
they become, as we migrate away from the city?
The air is cleaner, the lights are softer and our senses become more
in tune with the world around us. As our moods lighten we tend
relax and the whirlwind existence of our lives slows to a crawl.
There are many of us who never take the time to see the little
diamonds that hang in the sky, nor reflect on how insignificant we
really are compared to the universe around us.
Are we nothing but a speck in the sky? Or are we all part of an elaborate
piece of God’s puzzle waiting to be fit together.
We may never know, but taking the time to reflect on the stars above us
while communing with nature will always be soothing to our soul.

Jim Smither Poem
Hug us, kiss us, nourish us and believe in us, for we are
all that you are and would wish to be. Teach us to embrace
the world around us with love and understanding; show
us the essence of family and dare us to dream. For you are
our rocks, allowing us to spread our wings and fly, while
always creating a safe haven that we can return to.

Jim Smither Poem
Have you ever looked at a rose in the early
mornings mist?? The buds tight and compact,
with Vibrant color and just the trace of scent…
with drops of dew that moisten and nourish.
In the days ahead, this rose opens itself to the
world, revealing its inner beauty...providing
depth and filling the space around it with all
It has to offer.
The scent!! … like a warm zephyr wind…gentle…
soothing…surrounding and enveloping you with
it’s lingering memory..
You are this … and more to me…

Jim Smither Poem
The path that we travel can be like a far sweeping sea…one moment calm
and soothing…and the next raging and battering everything around us.
Throughout our life, we tend to seek out those individuals that have the
Courage to stand up for their convictions in the face of the battering storms
around them.
For they are the beacons, defying the chaotic moods of the sea, with their
guiding light constantly seeking to part the darkness around us while
providing a pathway to the safe harbors we seek.
