Evening rain comforts.
A soothing sound as I drift
into my slumber.
I hope all of you have a pleasant beginning or ending to your day.
Take Care, Goodnight, and God Bless,
Beckie

Daily poem: August stanza 30
Rains swell the fallen seeds
a million millions
waiting for rebirth.
I long already for the spring.

8 Things You Should Stop Expecting from Others

and see
which monster you have to feed today.
The Reluctant Poet
