Wishing You the Best of Everything Always is a collection of poems by Beverly West Schmidt - inspired by the natural beauty and poetry of all living things. It also includes poems inspired by the author's love of family. Here are some excerpts from a few of her poems: Perfect Palette " Amazingly graceful light plays shadow tag with sleepy fog and billowy clouds - awakening autumn's hillside hues...." Maternal Music "Softly sweeping, rhythmically sweeping - maternal music continuing - in springtime, in sunshine - in all times. No colorful kerchief needed - flowers provide ample colors and fragrances - maternal memories and dove-soft love - for countless generations to come." Fox Trot Envy "She dances divinely on silvered snow, her ebony-tipped auburn coat - sleek in frigid air. Oh, to be so slender. Oh, to be so agile. Oh, to have such shimmering hair - Oh, never-mind. I much prefer my winter den to hers." As We Journey On "Let's be sunrise - not sunset. Let's be brightness rising - not dimness declining. Let's be sunrays rosy with joyfulness and awakening. Let's be prisms of infinite inspiration and kaleidoscope colors. Let's be stillness and peace embracing all."
