Sand sifts through fingers
Suns rays filter through clouds
I am shimmering tears
threatening to overflow
I am the heart
breaking into pieces
I am the lonely one
longing for hugs
Sand sifts through fingers
Suns rays filter through clouds
Wind blows ever changing directions
I love children
the joy we share
I love learning
through experiences
I love watching ocean waves
and smelling the salty sea air
Sand sifts through fingers
Suns rays filter through clouds
Wind blows ever changing directions
I am many puzzle pieces together
the picture is almost visible
I am secrets
safe inside me
I am a tree
standing tall
I am hope
I am brave
I am peace
I am strong
I am laughter
Now I am free

Such an inspirational poem.
I was touched by Sherry's poem. This week has seemed to be "shimmering teas threatened to overflow. But "I am hope, brave, peace, strong and laughter" through Jesus who gives me strength! Thank Sherry for permitting you to share her poetry.
Shelly is right. What beautifully wise words! That's one gorgeous photograph too. It matches Shelly's thoughts perfectly.
Hi Kathy, I'm dropping by from Sepia today. Like always I enjoy the visit. Thanks.
What a lovely poem of yours. I love reading poems because of the wide and deep meaning of it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, everybody, for your very kind words. I copied them for Shelly on FB and she was so excited with all of your comments. I'm trying to talk her into making her own blog now!
