Pink Rose

I love every single color of roses The gardeners have created Beauty of a rose certainly Cannot be understated  Reds are bright or a deep color  Yellow the color of the sun And lavender roses are special And I find them so much fun Orange roses are captivating So many shades of them all Some roses are bushes And long-stemmed are very tall  Multi-colored roses so lovely You just can not get enough  You can cut them for bouquets  For their stems are very tough The fragrance, oh the fragrance Is virtually hard to express Almost a phenomenon  Just part of nature I guess But the rose most special to me  You’ll find in poetry or prose And that is my very favorite Loveliest of all, the pink rose!

There is something about autumn

That brings out such earthiness

Gold leaves adorn bushes and trees

Like an artist with a brilliant brush

  Once the leaves dry on the trees

Then the wind begins to blow

It's a special time of year for me

Because I love autumn so

The cold dry air it seems

Prepare the leaves to fall

Mother Nature's special time

Yes, it's the best of all

What a dazzling way to end

The year as winter nears

The way the leaves let loose

And drop like nature's tears

Oh yes, I love those golden days

Dreamy with autumn's glow

It makes me smile because I do

Love the season of autumn so!

Sunsets create Dreams I love how at the end of the day The sky lights up for me Colors grace my entire world Its beauty is astonishing to see A farmer working long after dark His horse and plow standing there You wonder if he’s chatting with God His hopes and worries he shares It seems there’s a door opening To tomorrow for its fresh and new I know for me there is a promise I hope it’s the same for you It’s a time to rest for most of us Long after the sun sends its beams So nourishing to our inner soul Are life-changing sunset dreams!
