Beautiful Thoughts

Fluffy blankets with a mountain-fresh clean

Mums and tulips at autumn and spring

Apple pie aromas filtering the house

Lazy weekends with family on the couch

Rejuvenating bubble-baths with candle-lit tubs

Creating the ambiance, for I am in love

In love with my craft, this time often reflects

Imaginative wonders, my thoughts then connect

A hot cup of coffee with a long treasured friend

Whose faithfulness and honesty I could always depend

Intense dialogue of which I am hooked

By exploration of the mind, disguised as a book!

There were those who thought my writings were rubbish

But, then one day, I became published!

I did not focus on the negativity I heard

Instead, I decided to stand on His Word!

The doors have been opened for me to see

I can do all things, through Christ, who strengthens me!

I’ll gladly press forward, I will not hinder

Just savor this life with all its splendor!
