Memories

I’m
Thinking of
Things that happened
A wonderful year, 2015
One month spent in Bangladesh
Plentiful reasons why I was blessed
Roaming the Golden Road in Maine’s wilds
A moose spied standing in a pond breakfasting
My daughter and grandson’s visit brim filled with fun.

Many delightful things remembered the final day of the year.
Now I ponder on the blessings of the Christmas holiday
How do I decide what was the paramount donation
Surely the ultimate boon is the salvation hidden
In Jesus’ birth for those who choose
To believe and accept His offering
I’m delighted that I did
Now I will personalize
This specific yearbook
Sublime.

Revelries
Family reunited                     
Three grandchildren playing
Widespread in their years
Different localities, personalities, and talents
A “playgroup” where their individual diversity
Disappears, due to their communal family ties
Memories replaying like slideshows in my mind
Opening my daughters annual calendar, finding this year’s blessing
Monthly pictures immortalizing my grandchildren together, an extremely rare event!
