What is a Rose by Diane Hein
Beauty is
this flower’s gracious charm
From a
garden, florist or a farm.
Soft petals
that open wide
Hints of
fragrance even at night side.
Love’s strong
symbol on any day
Often in
an exquisite bouquet.
Yes the
lovely rose has much power
Elegant
magic each passing hour!
Thought for the Day by Diane Hein
Like roses,
we can bloom for many seasons but only when
we take
good care of ourselves.
Smile for the Day by Diane Hein
Bras were
burned, girdles were tossed, but I still want men to
give me roses! :)

The path to serenity can be uphill
Often it takes a very determined will.
There are no easy roads that are paved for us
Not something we ride like a solitude bus.
But many things can be found along the way
If we make solitude part of every day.
To walk in a garden or smell a flower
Can give solitude with its quiet power.
By Diane Hein
A red rose speaks of beauty
without one word.
Twelve red roses speak splendor
in a concert.
A harmony of petals
Creating a symphony
Of love,
Romance and
Passion.
by Diane Hein
It’s the little things that can bring us joy
Just ask a girl or boy with a new toy.
Smiles and giggles their faces light up
They eagerly drink from joy’s candied cup.
And also for adults, joy is still found
In friends, flowers, family, it’s around.
In the wind, the water or a wild wave
These all help capture the joy that we crave.

Let No One...
By Diane Hein
January 15, 2004
Let no one steal your happiness
Your inheritance to a good life.
Heal your wounds
Forgive the unforgivable.
Then embrace a smile
Hold it
Nurture it
The world needs you.
By Diane Hein
October 24, 2003
We can change the world
Not by our vote
But by our love
Kind words delivered
Affection
Admiration
Adoration
Just for starts.
Unenforceable Rules
By Diane
Hein
May
2, 2003
When life kicks you, it’s time to kick it back
Hold your head up high and soon you’ll be on track.
Forgive those who cannot give you what you want
Dismiss their mistakes so they no longer taunt.
Too often we make rules that others cannot keep
Accepting is key to how others speak.
Our Bond
By Diane
Hein
December
4, 2003
I only speak my truth
Don't we all
My reality so different from yours.
Images bright and clear to me
Perhaps dull to you.
And vice versa.
Yet we interact and relate
Because we know how
To look past the differences.
Going with the Flow with the Unexpected
By Diane Hein
September 3, 2003
Grief comes in waves like the rolling blue sea
A morning tide that washes over me.
But as the water recedes and flows back
I steady myself for the next attack.
I'll learn to flow with life's big and small blows
To stay on top avoiding undertows.
By Diane
Hein

Time Off
By Diane
Hein
December 4, 2003
The day, I took it off
Just to be
Nowhere
Except with me.
Where silence speaks loudly
And I hear both my shadows and my light.
All their images set in print
Across gray and white matter.
Where the heart talks with the mind
And says "Who am I?"
And "Who am I not?"
By Diane Hein
July 18, 2003
The day has only two borders
Dawn and dusk
An architecture of height alone
But we're here to explore
The width of the day
Build outwards
Expand our mind
Limitless is the breadth
Of what we can do
Or who we can love.
What's Beautiful?
By Diane Hein
January 15, 2004
Beautiful are the flowers that grow
It's Mother nature all aglow.
Beautifully are the leaves that abound
It's lush greenery all around.
Beautiful is the sky so deep blue
A backdrop for white clouds to view.
Beautiful are people who are kind
They're a treasure to all mankind.
By
Diane Hein
February 18, 2004
Yes, life...
You and I have been together,
For many years now,
Through all our ups and downs
And ins and outs.
So today it's time to reflect
On our partnership, our relationship, our friendship
And I vow
To grow, to do, to be better
With you.
I did see this lady in the following poem over the holidays
The Old Lady in St. Petersburg, Florida
By Diane
Hein
January 15, 2004
She wore big shoes
Thick soles
Some would call them boots
Laced tightly up over her ankles
But they were strong
Like her.
They had to last like her winter coat
And the shopping cart she pushed
As she ambled along the road
Homeless.
What's In a Man's Heart?
By Diane Hein
September 25, 2003
What's in a man's heart
Has no bounds.
A spirit so strong
Dreams to be found.
A drive to succeed
His woman to please
To protect his family
All that and more
In the heart of a man.
By Diane Hein
February
21, 2004
God writes beauty everywhere
His first script begins in nature
Poetic flowers lush with rhyme
The wind His mystery novel
Fascinating stories in tree limbs
Nonfiction and humor in creatures large and small.
But His most beautiful manuscript is you.
Life's Paycheck
By Diane Hein
January 15, 2004
Life pays us what we feel its worth
Whether it's drudgery or mirth
A daily paycheck it gives to us
Determined by how much we fuss!
So let's fill our personal vault
And hold life in valued exalt.
A Priceless Gem
By Diane Hein
January 15, 2004
Oh the joy of feeling safe
Where I can be myself
When what I offer to the world
Is taken in
Sifted through
Then without a fuss
I still have my friends! :)
Haiku (17 syllables in three to four lines or less in each)
Rolling waves teach us
There is much power
In flowing forward.
-------------------------------------------
Live well with your shadows
They will make your light
Stand out.
-------------------------------------------
Dieting ain't so bad
It's just that
It starts every Monday!
-------------------------------------------
The last leaf of fall
Waits for a soft breeze
For its journey to heaven.
-------------------------------------------
Fill your life's canvas
Color it well
Balance it always.
-------------------------------------------
The rain spanks my window
Pings and pongs
Nature is knocking.
----------------------------------------------
Rain falling softly
Like butterflies
Kissing flowers.
---------------------------------------------
Potions and motions
Women go through the motions
To fight aging!
---------------------------------------------
I live in two homes
My mind and my body
Both need upkeep.
----------------------------------------------
One Glorious Day
By Diane Hein
December 4, 2003
The air was like silk
Smooth and delicate
Suspended lightly between two trees.
Exquisite was the breeze
Tiptoeing across my face
Its courtesy soothing my soul.
My Clown Garden
By Diane
Hein
December 4, 2003
My clown garden started with just one single rose
Tall and elegant she struck such a graceful pose.
Her petaled skirt filled with shades of pinks and yellow
This flowering lady needed a home to grow.
I learned her first name, and she was called Tiffany
And needing a friend I planted her by a tree.
My fragrant gal grew with daily water and care
With eight blossoming daughters during summer's air.
And little by little I added more flowers
To fill her sweet heart and mine for many hours.
I sprinkled in six smiling clowns with all of them
My garden complete making me a happy femme!
On Aging
By Diane
Hein
December 4, 2003
We age too quickly
And mature too late
The early vessel of life
Filled with youthful stamina
Of putting up with so much
Then middle age produces the cracks
Where peace of mind and happiness
Becomes the desired bouquet.
God is There Throughout the Year
By Diane
Hein
November 7, 2003
God is with you through all of the year
Spring, summer, fall, winter have no fear.
He's the Man to hold you twelve months long
Take your prayers to Him by word or song.
Come Summer when heat is on your head
Gold will give you soft grass on which to bed.
In Spring when dew is on the wet ground
God will take your hand until you're found.
In Autumn when it's so crisp and cool
The Lord provides spiritual fuel.
When Winter comes with frost and cold
God loves you here or in Cotswold.
By Diane
Hein
December 4, 2003
Oh how we juggle the affairs of life
One by one we throw the balls
Watching them fly high
Only twenty-four hours in the day
As we carefully toss them up.
So let’s pray for juggling skills
To catch them one by one
Long before they fall!
Dealing with Our Losses
By Diane Hein
March 21, 2004
There are losses we say we cannot bear
To lose them we know our hearts would then tear.
The things and people we cannot give up
Because we know that they so fill our cup.
Yet time might pass when they or we must go
Our treasures are gone and we bear the low.
For life has its cycles of discontent
But let's use our inner strength God has sent.
I Want To Be a Clock!
By Diane Hein
December 4, 2003
The hour is ready to start again
A suspended rolling wheel
Circular in motion
Moving yet not moving
Yet it goes forward
Rolling into the day and then the night.
Leaving behind memories
But always moving towards new goals.
The Chapters of Our Life
By Diane Hein
October 24, 2003
Life has its chapters
It's been so often said
A storybook we write
Sometimes on purpose
Sometimes inadvertently.
The forward movement of the pages
Yet we know not when The End.
Sometimes a mystery novel we pen
When outcomes are not known.
Other times in grief and death
It's weeks of difficult nonfiction.
So best we keep our writing skills up
Because the legacy we leave on earth
Is how we write each day.
The Cozy and Quaint (inspired by a restaurant I ate at!)
By Diane Hein
February 5, 2004
I like the cozy and
quaint
Beautiful wood with
no paint
Flowers placed to decorate
Form such a pretty
portrait.
Plates with a timeless
design
All these make me feel
so divine.
I Want a Home
By Diane Hein
December 4, 2003
I want a home where peace is king
And white daisies smile all hours
at me.
I want a home where dreams are made
And daily goals are set and achieved.
I want a home where people kiss
And love lives through the night
and day.
