Becky’s Haiku: Touch and Miss
2 Replies
I reached to touch the
Sky; felt the lofty air but
Missed the clouds up there.
I stretched high to grasp
A lofty dream but up it
Floated far from me.

Becky’s Sonnet: Waiting for the Sun
I awoke early one dark morn
And waited for the sun to dawn.
I lay in bed a bit forlorn
Yet anxious to see the gloriously rising sun.
Darkness wrapped around me like a knitted shroud
As I rested as quietly as could be.
But lo! Only gray billowing clouds
Through the slatted window I could see.
Yet still a dim light did appear
Ushering the darkness away;
No more murky shadows to fear
As deep night transformed to day.
Therefore, with a lifted heart graced by hope
I began a new day’s journey upon life’s emerging slope.
Becky’s Haiku: Darkened Clouds
Clouds obscure days and
Nights but the sun appears to
Turn darkness to light.
Wishful Thinking
Days filled with clouds and
Nights with rain; how I wish to
See the radiant sunshine again.
The vast sky is continually
Wrapped in foreboding dark gray
Through the night and lasting all day.
A break in the clouds
Would be a cheerful sight; oh
To view again the glowing sunlight
Lifting and softly dawning
Upon the tree-lined horizon.
And to embrace again the warmth
Of the orange tinted orb in the morning dawn
While it strokes and dries the rain soaked land.
But must be patient and quietly believe
That again I’ll watch the flaming sun rise
As it journeys over the land and sea
Caressing the world in its warmth
Again as it gently evaporates
The dwindling mist and rain.
God’s blessings are often that
Way; like soothing rays of hope that
Softly brighten a dark and cloudy day.
So perhaps I will see a hint of sunshine
While I travel through another day
And perceive a glowing ray of hope
To softly brighten my pathway.
Becky’s Freku: Though the Path be Dark Today
In the cloud-filled, dreariness of this day,
While the sunlight be dim along the way,
With Jesus I can still walk in faith
Though the path be dark today.
Although troubles brew and haunt my soul
And I feel empty and lacking a life purpose or goal,
With Jesus I can still walk by faith
Though the path be dark today.
As the rain drizzles outside
And in my house I just want to hide,
With Jesus I can still walk by faith
Though the path be dark today.
Even as I awake in clouds of doubt
Wondering what my life is really about,
With Jesus I can still walk by faith
Though the path be dark today.
As I gingerly step outside in fear
Wondering what new obstacles may appear,
With Jesus I can still walk by faith
Though the path be dark today.
Believing the sun will shine again
Evaporating the clouds and drizzling rain,
With Jesus I can still walk by faith
Though the path be dark today.
Choosing to trust that he is my light
Who helps me to see in the darkest night,
With Jesus I can still walk by faith
Though the path be dark today.
Yeah! With Jesus, I
still walk by faith though my path
is darkened today.
Becky’s Haiku: Change and Mind
Waking to clouds and
rain; started to get up but
changed my mind again.

Becky’s Haiku: The Lord Leads Me
The Lord always leads
Me even though I don’t see
His hand holding me.
He does forever
Stay in my heart this moment.
This hour and all day.
Teaching and even
Guiding me in his love while
Sitting high above.
In heaven over
The clouds and the rain reaching
With his outstretched hand.
He holds on never
Letting go while I rest or
Walk this road alone.
Raining sunshine to
Brighten my way so I know
This day he has made.
Becky G? Oh, That's Me!
