"The Imagined Daybreak" by Susan Pearl

Whether through imagination or by memory, nature's beauty makes lovely thoughts for me,
Like a baby fawn at dawn with the mother doe nearby,
Under the breathtaking colors of a sunrise sky,
Then coming into view, too, is a calm mountain lake,
All this to find within my mind---the imagined daybreak.

"Working With What We Have" by Susan Pearl

Just because we don't have the right ingredients doesn't mean we can't make something of delight,
The best things that have come to be have been made out of necessity,
They say "necessity is the mother of invention" and I believe that is true,
There is an art to living within our means and making do.

"The Question That Holds an Answer" By Susan Pearl

I remember her and the question that holds an answer that she would say,
I'm thinking of her today and asking myself, "Why worry when you can pray"?
