Sometimes the things that we observe are big and obvious, and sometimes we go about our days surrounded by the subtle, little things—that when we slow down and reflect—allow us to see the world in a new light.
The following poems about wonder are inspired by these little BIG things that truly make my heart sing: A fleece jacket, my favorite colors, great music, car rides along state highways, or watching the moon rise into nightfall. A remarkable human, an unexpected surprise, staying curious each day and marveling at nature. Caterpillars, baby birds, and the inexplicable joy you feel when you step into the magic of the present moment.
Soaking in the Shades
Red onions
Purple brussels
Orange coffee cups
Citrus lovin’ up
Green grass
Paddle boarders pass
Blue sky owns
Warming tones
A yellow sun
New day has begun
Multiple Choice
Every day you get to choose
For me it’s (D)
All of the above
Patience, Peace and Love
Look for miracles
Hit your pinnacles
Laugh out loud
Rejoice with your rowdy crowd
Cockcrow Celebrate
Big stretch, warm hug
Hit the rug
Slow steppin’
Morning preppin’
Flamingo pink groove
See the clouds move
Fresh air, sunshine, rain
Birds singing to me again
Angels flying, my sweet friend
The butterfly at your front door
Keep at it amore
No matter the weather
A new day feels better
Light as a feather
Delicious daybreak
Cockcrow celebrate!
Kind Eyes
Can see without a viewfinder
Your eyes match your shirt
Bright blue
Sparkling, kinder
Visible light
No need for a telescope
To see you’re really dope
Lifeforce, power station
Electromagnetic, celebration
Small Ones
What makes me happy?
Little things
They light the way
Brighten everything
Small ones are sweet surprises
Simple prayers with wings
Bring goodness
This moment is everything
Wakin’ Up
Every morning
Full of wonder
Anticipation
New day creation
Curiosity celebration
Kindness donation
Patience, love, elation
Speechless
Stopped in my tracks
Words I lack
So stunning, I’m stunned
Forgot to respond, “thank you hon”
Left with no words to say
I’ll share my thoughts another day
Timeless Palette
Color design
Palettes so fine
Timeless attraction
Strong connection
Follows in line
Loyal, divine
Buckets of Love
It’s raining gigantic rain drops
Wish I could send you some
For your forest fires, flowers and crops
Pouring buckets here
Have on my rain gear
Still going outside
Watchin’ from the inside
See ‘em streaming wide
Rays of sweet sunshine visible
This weather is incredible
Wonder
There is so much wonder that wouldn’t exist
Without kindness
So simple right?
Angels in flight
Incredibly huge to me
Grateful for eternity
Classic KISS
Maybe today’s the day
To listen to Michael Bublé
Music to celebrate as you’re on your way
AC/DC might top your list
Classic rock KISS
Or Queen turned way up
Don’t stop dancing, full cup
The Doobie Brothers
Lovely reminders
That sometimes old songs
(Heck yeah)
Are the most fun to sing along
Today’s Greeting
Nice to meet you brand new day
Thanks for showing up in that special way
By my side never sway
Your sunny glow, God’s rays, morning pray!
My Heart Explodes
Too many things to list
Endless treasures that exist
They line my heart ‘til they can’t fit
Love’s fortunes, life’s gifts
Told you some, there’s some I missed
Inside my soul is where they live
