Sunrise Stroll

When dawn’s first light breaks o’er the hill
When morning dew glistens the daffodil
When birds chirp softly their early shrill
When forest animals stir from sleepy still
I lean out my window, breathe the crisp air
Savor the beauty, breeze blowing my hair
When out the door on my sunrise stroll

The Leaf

I watched the leaf
as it fell from the tree,
first fluttering toward you,

He strolls over with a [...]

the other replied with more ugly retorts.
Two milk cows on the farm,
talking about another in the next stall.
Saying her milk [...]

Tree Story

The property belongs to John now,
a bequest of his dear parent’s will.
It was also his home when he was but a child,
so the frustration of today he couldn’t still.
He gazed sadly at the dark gray Holly Oak,
where he spent fond Summers of days long past,
in the tree house his dad had helped him build,
playing “make-believe” [...]
