   StrawberryThe sun seems to beat down on me, Even in the shade of the tree. My hair feels pasted to my head; All of a sudden, something stirs the hot air. At first, I don't feel it, But I stand up. Suddenly, it touches me. It feels wonderful As the refreshing breeze touches my face, It seems to beckon me As I follow it, My eyes are drawn to a tiny bright spot In the moss. I stoop down as my fingers reach out To touch it. It seems too fragile. I dare not take it -- Yet it slips into my hand, Giving itself up to me. And then it's in my mouth And my whole body suddenly feels refreshed By its juicy, sweet, delicious goodness. I feel freed from the hot summer day. Thank you, mother earth, for your small But wonderful Gift. Taryn Hill Date: 1994 |
 My name is Norma, aka Pen and Paper Mama. I'm married to Lionel, and we have 5 kids - Taryn, Sarah, Robyn, Wendy and Peter, and four grandchildren, Tony, William, Marcus, and Apollo - with three more on the way! Having recently lost my job due a company closure, I have decided to take the plunge, and really focus - professionally - on my passions! I love writing, tutoring, and facilitating Christian study groups. I'm an enthusiastic volunteer with Another Chance Street Ministry. And I also enjoy exercise, gardening, playing guitar, language learning, sketching, and a multitude of other interests - a "Jill of all trades."
I hope you will find some stimulating ideas here, and I'd love to hear your reactions and thoughts too... leave a note in the Guest Book, or Email Me.  |
