Where Does The Time Go? 2017 Hello!

Where does the time go, that’s a saying put to a question

No longer a present, no longer the future, no longer the past

It goes, it slugs along, it races to the fence, it doesn’t last

Where does the time go? It’s fleeting, it flies to drift along on a breeze

And wishing time was a kite, to be guided, to be pulled into the wind before the fall

Rescuing the innocent spaces, briefly consoling and cajoling the humor through it all

Where does the time go, when all else fails before it slips through your fingers

Tugging away and pulling like you have an illusive eel in your grasp!

Before losing your grip you grab the tail and heave a longing gasp!

Winter Green

Listening to the rain come down

with triumph it pours

Hearing water skim the surface of air

as the thunder roars

Time to break the cold  

blooming the scent of night’s dark

Secrets of nature cut the barriers of seasons

with a cry of a lark

Our rocky hills and desert sands

come alive as if in Spring

Always a magical time of year

Christmas’ Winter Green

Loving You

You wakened early to call me near
Then closed your eyes my love my dear

Love is our memory

Love was a note

Love is worshiped

Love was hope

I remember the words you wanted to say

I remember the story we told that day

In a kiss, our hope
In a whisper, our song

I’ll remember I loved you

all the day long

Awakening

Sleep comes to the weary, sleep comes to the sad

sleep comes to the children all snug in their bed

Rest to the deserving, handed out like gold

rest to the downtrodden, not to withhold

Lie down in the winter, flowers sleep in the frost

where snow shields the ground, all is not lost

Sun shines on morning dew, clearing land of winter’s nap

trees spring to life, giving streams of lushes sap

Breaking the ground all in due course

buds come alive with surprising force

Surrounded in warmth, awake comes the earth

People yawning away, with life’s comforting mirth

A Christmas Prayer

Trees evergreen, a wintry scene, lining the lanes, red and white candy canes

Lights in bright colors, a picture of peace, let heaven be on earth, this day let war cease  

Time to gather family, and friends to share, time for joy, to spread love with care

Hearts full abound, a time to sing, a time for Christmas, and bells will ring
