Mother Nature
Mother Nature dust our Earth
With shining sleet and snow so white,
She adds some crispness to the air
As Winter’s moon lights up our night.
She always gives a new tomorrow
Our Earth she decorates for Spring
The hills she plants with flowers
Gentle sun and rain she brings.
She gives hot days for Summer
With searing sun she cloaks our Earth
Thirsting fields of wheat look upward
With pleas for rain to quench their thirst.
She paints our Earth in golden hues
Each stroke of brush has special reason
She dresses trees in yellow, orange and brown
To usher in her Autumn season.

One of my Christmas presents from a dear friend at the office was a hard back book entitled “Beyond the Stars” The National Library of Poetry, editor Cynthia A. Stevens, Nicole Walstrum, and Assoc. Editor. Stevens was one of the judges and editors to review a compilation of poetry…thus the book. I love to page through this collection of various subjects and styles…reading and thinking as I read each word of a poem…how that poet must have poured out their inner feelings and thoughts of their subject matter. Kudos to all the artists in this anthology!
We’re into the middle of January 2010 already…
I have vowed to finish the Military album(s) for my nephew (who served in the US Army, Spec. Jonathan R. DePhillips, veteran of the Iraq war WHO I AM VERY PROUD OF)…and just a few pages to finish my sweet Princess niece, Crissa A. Johnson’s scrapbook album, she was the SUN Area Dairy Princess, her reign ended in the summer of 2009. Sooooo…no procrastinating or “putzin”…git’r done!
On that note…I shall be devoting my time to those scrapbooks but want to be diligent about blogging. Hmmm…look for some pages I might just post!!!!!
Have a good evening!
Best,
Reenie
