For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Chipmunk Appreciation Day.
CHIPMUNKS
Chipmunk running across the ground,
Looking for whate’er can be found.
He stops and sees me sitting there,
And scampers o’er without a care.
Soon he is sitting on my knee,
Just waiting there so joyfully.
For he has learned to get his food,
From one sure place that’s really good.
He likes to fill his cheeks right up,
I’m sure he’d like to take the cup.
He bounces away happily,
And returns again hurriedly.
Tug on my jeans lets me know,
He’s here again, ready to go.
Peanuts he loves to take away,
Storing them for a winter day.

Loveliness…A Poem.
LOVELINESS
When I see each new sunrise,
Beauty there before my eyes.
Golden rays for all to see,
Their gentle warmth touching me.
When the day is almost o’er,
Sunset comes to close the door.
In between the sun does shine,
Giving life to all so fine.
When the clouds o’erspread the sky,
We should not be asking why.
Just enjoy the lovely rain,
Which we need to grow again.
Beauty seen across the land,
Tiny birds and mountains grand.
Glassy lake, the loons domain,
And the fields of golden grain.
Flowers blooming by the way,
Colors so bright for each day.
Bringing smiles to all who see,
Loveliness for you and me.
