~ God's Beautiful Delights ~
Early in the glow of morning light, as I softly wake upon the dawn
My heart cries out in thankfullness, to greet another dawn
I thank the Lord for sundrenched skies,
for dreams upon a starry night
For flowers blooming in the garden, for rays of sparkling light
I revel in the captivation of every day's delights
That make me sing through every season
With the joy our Father brings
For summer's warmth and cooling breeze, for striking color of the fall
For winter's cozy fires and the birth of spring's new call
For the thankfulness we feel
Before the hope of Christmas comes
To celebrate the greatness of our Saviour
And His everlasting love

Laughter adds richness, texture and colour to any ordinary day
It is a gift, a choice, a discipline and an extraordinary art

~My All Season Friend~
An all season friend will be a loving friend
When summer's heat is done
That friend will only be forever true because they always love
Such a friend remains, when Autumn falls
For winds can never blow away
The kindness of that special friend who always wants to stay
A forever friend will glow with gentle warmth
When winter's snow has come, for, when life is at it's coldest
They bring an even greater love
A friend as this will be the very sweetest, in the joys of pretty spring
To share their fragrance every day
From love that grows within
A friend as such, will be as you, through every season's birth
For you are one who truly knows
What eternal friendship's worth

Derry's Heart Poems
~ Seasoned Friends ~
All summer long you thought of me
As I remembered you
And when the Autumn winds begin to blow
Our love will still be true
Then throughout the coldest winter
Our hearts will be kept warm
For the coals of care we've kindled will forever burn
You'll be my friend through every season
In every part of life
Though cold winds blow to freeze without
Our love will stay alight
To glow so bright in sweet hope and joy beyond compare
For you and I are seasoned friends
In everything we share
I thank God for you in every prayer

~Seasons of Your Golden Life~
Like a twirling golden leaf you may feel life is falling,
whirling downward in the breeze,
But then God says, pause now, I love you, look up here to Me.
For there are so very many seasoned gifts that come as joys with age,
Too numerous to count them all and some you're yet to guage.
So, let me take you through a few, to bless your heart this day,
For wisdom's shouting from the mountaintop in all you do and say.
You would never know the many times you have touched a lonely heart,
A hand you held, a thoughtful word to help them walk a cold and wintery path.
Your life gave birth to those you love, the spring of youth bore gifts,
Now they give back to community, by all you taught to live.
Being Mother, friend, Grandma, Aunt, with love, you have lived every name,
By glowing as you truly are, with passion as your summer flame.
And oh, the many handy hints you have gleaned along the way,
By gladly pitching in to work and help, in every craft and trade.
Then there's all the thoughtful insights, you gathered through the years,
Trusting God o'er hill and vale. to conquer every fear.
You've journeyed well through disaster, economy and government,
And by seeking God's grace every day, on Him you could depend.
In close relationship with God, you gathered gems of priceless worth,
Now as monarch over all you've gained, you reign in all you've learnt.
Young ones glean now, at your feet, to understand all you know,
Listen to the tests of faith, the seasons when you knew you weren't alone.
It's your time to share God's precious wonders,
After years of whispering on life's path,
For your heart is overflowing, with the beauty of His heart.

Poetry from the Heart
One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts.
Psalm 145:4
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow His precepts have good understanding.
To them belongs eternal praise.
Psalm 111:10
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18
We know also that the Son of God has come
and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true.
And we are in Him who is true—even in his Son Jesus Christ.
He is the true God and eternal life.
1 John 5:20
He will be the sure foundation for your times,
a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge;
the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure.
Isaiah 33:6
The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms
Deuteronomy 33:27
