Don't Give Up ...


Don’t Give Up … the privilege of being happy

Don’t Give Up the joy of finding that you are wrong
Don’t Give Up your strength to accomplish small and great things
Don’t Give Up your freedom to be gracious
Don’t Give Up your power to encourage yourself
Don’t Give Up the excitement of exploring new ideas
Don’t Give Up the peace that is found in seeing the good
Don’t Give Up the luxury of kindness
Don’t Give Up your gift to encourage others
Don’t Give Up your freedom to reinvent yourself
Don’t Give Up on understanding with compassion
Don’t Give Up on listening to your intuition
Don’t Give Up the courage to take responsibility 
Don’t Give Up the pleasures of experiencing today
Don’t Give Up on healthy relationships
Don’t Give Up on loving as you choose your own way

Don’t Give Up … on being you

Step through with joy and excitement

moss green yarn & knitting needles


moss green yarn & knitting needles
in the hands of one whose heart loves
effortlessly seeks to embrace and bless

the creation wrapped and tied with a bow
her offering “when you need a hug put this on”
“and feel my love” her voice echoes through time

creation and offering now wrap round my shoulders
loving arms and bright eyes through space between
her love and creativity embrace, cheer, and bless

life from yesterday

today brought new light
the promise renewed in bird's song
new life out of the night
yesterday receded as that day grew long

there was a day, no days
when the lights burned into the night
words only heart now says
my daughter's eyes were bright

this morning my heart did not remember
I was busy with the daily round
this afternoon while thinking of December
near searching for fire in some sound
