Haiku for every day of April 2024

Haiku for every day of April 2024

April 1

April showers bring

May flowers, but the sun is

Very bright today

 

April 2

Above, a dog plays

Below, three great highways roar

Within, I seek peace

 

April 3

AM ultrasounds

Looking inside my body

Let’s keep him alive

 

April 4

Not much fun for us

Jasper learning to say NO

But our duty calls

 

April 5

Dr. Liu this time

He saw us both together

Listened to our hearts

 

April 6

no boys overnight

we’ll watch some movies instead

old ones, black and white

 

April 7

Carol, great teacher

Living in Jesus’ zipcode

Catch that culture wave

 

April 8

Illini came close

But UConn won the battle

Goodbye to Purdue

 

April 9

Cubs win, then they lose

Doing pretty well right now

Love to sing the song

 

April 10

Five deer at Craig’s house

Eating grass as sunset falls

All else is silent

 

April 11

Thursday night dinner

Meat leaf with Andi and boys

Our nice tradition

 

April 12

Game night in Austin

Five Crowns at the Miller’s house

Cards with Ray and Jean

 

April 13

Chess pieces, five games

Tournament for Miles and friend

They won some, lost some

 

April 14

Lunch today with Yosts

Seventeen years in Kenya

Missionary-ing

 

April 15

Texas spring flowers

Blue bonnets, Injun paintbrush

Blowing in the wind

 

April 16

I followed a cat

From sunrise to sunset

Its fur warmed my hand

 

April 17

The best stories are

Always personal – hearing

Helps me want to share

 

April 18

Dark night of the soul

Have faith in God’s faithfulness

Open, don’t close up

 

April 19

Stop with the short cuts

Open your eyes, face the facts

Just accept His love

 

April 20

I feel abandoned

I’m last acorn on the tree

Just waiting to fall

 

April 21

I’m stuck. I want to

Change, but I can’t. Where can I

Flee from your presence?

 

April 22

We are all lost

But anyone can be transformed

Into butterfly

 

April 23

Choose life I’m given

Ask for what I think is right

But do not demand

 

April 24

God introduces

Me to me, and invites me

To change me to We

 

April 25

Do not be afraid

For the battle is the Lord’s!

This time, every time

 

April 26

Listen at the door

I put my ear to the test

Thunder, falling rain

 

April 27

Trapped by my future –

How I imagine it will be …

Breathe! Wait for the Lord

 

April 28

It’s Sunday, all day

Favorite day of the week

See so many friends

 

April 29

Cubs are in first place

At least for a single day

Fly the winner’s flag!

 

April 30

Chickens, horses, cows

At the end of a gravel road

The Yost’s Texas ranch
