Wish the years would roll back
The child in me smiles and rejoices
at this sight from its yesteryears.
It retastes the flavors,
Rekindles the melodies,
The excitement for beloved treats.
"Kaak, kaak, kaak, kaakiyyeh," the old man used to scream.
We would drop everything,
And sprint up to him
And our smiles and faces would beam.
Sweet'n happy memories of childhood,
Wish time would roll back, wish it could.
The old man his goodies in the carriage would bring,
And the daily refrain once again h
A path to nowhere
A path to nowhere in particular,
That may not have been traveled before,
Where my eyes could wander,
my feet could roam free,
and my mind was free to be. 🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵 Content with myself,
Content with the world,
On this path to nowhere in particular.
Just simply at peace,
Which nothing could seize,
What a particularly beautiful feeling. 🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶 #aphotoaday #pathtonowhere #cherishedmemories #atpeace #nostalgia #home #visionsofhome #yesteryears #lifewelll
A woman of all seasons
"What season am I?" she wondered.
"Am I Spring's youthful flirting,
Or Summer's free spirit?
Am I Fall's dreamy melancholy,
Or Winter's deep reflections?" .
"Which am I?" she pondered. "Am I one of those, none, or could it be... I'm all of them together, thriving side by side?" #aphotoaday #nature #texas #hillcountry #whoami #woman #seasons #ourbeautifulworld #lifewelllived #simplepleasures #simplertimes #motivationalquotes #inspirationalquotes #quoteoftheday #writersofi
All we need is love...
This proud red kalanchoe has been my companion for over 30 years. I got it back in my very first apartment and moved it with me from home to home, from the little basket it came in, to the bigger terracota pot, the small patio bed, and presently my home's backyard. At every place I take it, it confidently settles its roots deep down the soil and shoots its brightest blooms up towards the stars, surviving the move and Mother Nature's frequent mood swings. Though it knows this
In you
"In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art."

Happy Friday
Don't know 'bout your week, but know about mine.
Work then sleep, and there went the time.
Ain't nothing to stop me, tonight I will say,
Life's too short, to keep fun at bay.
Treating myself to an exquisite meal,
With good friends galore and weather surreal.
These three no doubt any pain will heal,
And a glass of fine wine will sure seal the deal...
Cheers my friends! Happy Friday. #aphotoaday #cherishedmemories #lifewelllived #cheers #wine #texassky #goodtimes #good

Sorry mama
Sorry mama, it was not supposed to be this way... Sorry I left and went so far.
Sorry that, though I may have been there for the big things, I have not been there for the little ones. The times you needed me to laugh with you, at the blink of an eye, at something only the two of us would understand, to put your head on my shoulder when you werehaving a bad day and no one else was around, to share your excitement at a new thing you learned, to tell you how pretty you looked
Flower shower
"Purple, yellow, pink, and white,
Everywhere I lay my sight.
Has nature risen from sleep?
Or was it I who dozed so deep?
Must've been a rain of flowers.
Must've slept and missed the showers.
Oh no, wait. I know my dear.
It was not rain. SPRING IS HERE." Dima Suki #aphotoaday #nature #spring #ourbeautifulworld #flowers #colors #nostalgia #home #visionsofhome #yesteryears #lifewelllived #simplepleasures #simplertimes #motivationalquotes #inspirationalquotes #quoteoftheda
