I have updated the Poem of the Month for November.
Here is a whimsical tale about a mouse and a tree.
The Climbing Mouse
Where are going said the mouse to the tree
TREE – I’m going nowhere as you plainly can see
MOUSE – But when I look up your tops lost in the sky
But your looking the wrong way said the tree with a sigh
The mouse now so puzzled decided to climb
In the hope in his quest he truly could find,
Just where this tree was going
The tree in amazement watched the mouse slowly ascend
But reason for it’s journey he could not comprehend
Now the mouse in it’s hurry never once came to see
That the more he went up there was more of the tree
At last he found sunshine as he broke through the leaves
And he said to the tree you truly deceive
Now the tree in such wonder said what do you mean
The mouse with a smirk said I wish you’d come clean
For you going to the sun to bathe in it’s light
But the tree so bemused said that’s really not right
For my roots are below me and they sit in the ground
Then the mouse he went quiet without making a sound
And after some moments he just longed for the ground
Now the climb up was easy alas not the descent
And all of his courage all at once he felt spent
The tree started swaying as it sang to the breeze
And the mouse in its panic stepped onto a leaf
Then the leaf with others did gently float down
And deposited the mouse right there on the ground
The mouse so relieved it said to the tree
Please enjoy your sunshine it just not really for me……

Stolen Moments
I look for stolen moments
Each time I close my eyes
The kind that makes your heart race
And take you by surprise
I don’t know when they’ll happen
Or if they will occur
It’s just I seem to find them
Whenever I lose my cares
They’re only stolen moments
Just every now and then
But I long to stay within them
And not come back again
Those times when there’s no worries
To play within my heart
Those lovely stolen moments
That God himself imparts
