Love Is Like a Rose
Explore and find That someone who Makes you feel whole... Waking a warmth that is new

A tranquil heart now sings
All is right with the world
Peace is what love brings
Today the sun is much Brighter than yesterday The scent of a rose intoxicates Its bloom is here to stay
Sidewalk Chalk
The concrete walkway is a masterpiece... Chalk lines of sunshine yellow, serene blue, Cotton candy pink, and soft grass green Create a wonderful place where children drew
Blockhouses topped with triangular roofs
Endowed with windows to gather sunshine
Multicolored flowers stand ... towering tall
Blades of spiky grass obediently march in line
Persistent purple repeatedly presents its hue Completing the curvature of bold rainbows... Paving town roads and topping a tall steeple Tracing a rambling river as it happily flows
The scene has no clouds today ... only joy
Walking travelers stop to pause and relate
Taking a moment to recall their childhood...
Days of simple summer fun communicate
Frosting On a Cake
