August 31

Intended to post this one yesterday, August 31st.

Now it's September - already.

August 31

Before the last sun

of August goes down

hidden crickets strum a loud refrain

inviting September once again.

Butterflies float in

on spotted orange wings.

To the butterfly bush they race,

then seen in a chasing race.

Magical to watch.

Difficult to catch

in the camera lens

for they're off again...

but soon they're back

for another snack

as they will fast

until breakfast.

Bees take a last sip

before the sun slips

down behind the arched hill

before night settles in, still.

Soon bees and butterflies

no longer will be seen fly.

They settle in for the night

resting until first light...

then when the new day comes

they're be ready for much fun

entertaining me

with a show for free.

Shadows stretch out as day turns into night.

The sun seems to shine golden as its last light

kisses the earth with promise

with sunset's rainbow of bliss.

Daylight is gone;

nighttime has come.

September will be born

with the birth of morn.

* * * * *

Yes, the earth seems to be kissed by the sun

before the day in done and nighttime comes.

September will be here in the morn.

A new month with endless possibilities born.

Endless possibilities await

tomorrow morning when you awake.

Goals, ambitions, plans, dreams

awaken with the sunbeams.

“You can do it” -

just start doing it.

Forsake the can'ts

that say naught.

Let God lead you

in what's right for you.

Let your light be seen.

Follow your dream.

You can do it.

Believe that spirit.

Now go out and do it.

You'll be better off for it.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth me.

Philippians 4:13 (KJV)

I can do

I can do

I can do anything

I can do anything through Christ.

I can do

I can do

I can do anything

I can do anything through Christ

who strengtheneth me.
