Dreams are the greatest gift.
They unwrap your future.
Fall in love with life.
Embrace your dreams with passion.
Look beyond where others have been
to see where you will go
One dream can become real
a thousand dreams become possibilities.

Take SUMMER when it comes and REJOICE.
Take HAPPINESS when it comes and REJOICE.
Take LOVE when it comes and REJOICE.

If someone tells you a certain
song is important to them,
You should close your eyes,
turn up the volume
and really listen.
By the end of the song,
you will know that person much better.

After all, tomorrow is another day
When you feel so weak
And things look bleak
Tomorrow is another day
When you’re so blue
And don’t know what to do
Tomorrow is another day
When things go wrong
And you don’t feel strong
Tomorrow is another day
When your body says, “No”
But you don’t want to let go
Tomorrow is another day
When the sun starts to set
And fear the day is gone, be strong,
After all, tomorrow is another day

Although weakened by her chronic arthritis, she managed to make her usual egg, toast and coffee breakfast.
She enjoyed her quiet mornings. She’d never thought she would. Age had greatly slowed her vitality.
Eyeing her window garden, the sun shone brightly on it. She cherished it. Thomas had planted the herbs for her.
He was the sweetest caring grandson. He’d told her to add the herbs to her salads and foods everyday. He’d said they’d help with her arthritic pain. They did.
She’d never been much of a gardener but would hate to disappoint Thomas if they didn’t continue to grow.

Boe was a good ole country boy; rich and handsome too.
After daddy died, he’d had to run the farm. But, he was tired of milking cows and feeding hogs.
Boe took off for college in the big city.
At a party, he met Victoria. Her sapphire eyes captivated him.
Eventually, Boe took her to the farm to meet Mama.
He showed her around the farm. Pointing, she asked, “What’s that?”
“Wild mushrooms in dung. We feed ‘em to the hogs.”
She wrinkled her nose.
At dinner Mama announced, “Roasted hog and wild mushrooms tonight.”
Victoria wrinkled her nose again.

***** this is a rewrite of a story from 2015. The views were few back then since I had just started my writing journey.
Enjoy !!!
A seed
in the earth
roots
rain
a stem and leaves
sunlight and shadows
blossoms and pollen
the winds and time
a seed
life eternal

She was waiting for him in the garden. He’d gone to get some wine for their moonlight stargazing tonight. He was always very romantic.
Walking among his many prize-winning roses, she was enveloped by their aroma. There were many varieties. He was proud of his green thumb.
Turning, she saw him running towards her.
“Mona!”
“My precious flower. The love of my life”.
He finally said it.
“Oh, Pierre!”
“Mona, my flower!”
“Oh, Pierre! I love you too!”
Pierre reached her. He knelt down and moved her foot aside.
“My flower!”
“You were standing on my prized-winning flower.”

I’m enthralled
By soft, fragrant purple flowers,
That dance, in the garden
and sets our hearts aglow.
