Serenity is a butterfly
flying on wings
broken and torn
or the sparrows flolicking
through sun, or snow, or storm.
Could it be the elderly lady
who lives next door
and carries the weight of old age
with poise and good humor?
Ah, it must be a child
untouched by worldly cares
and still wrapped in Innocence’s
protective embrace.
Perhaps it is that man
kneeling in prayer
basking in the peace
of God, his Maker.
Serenity is grace
amidst the vicissitudes of life
and trusting that all things
have their place
before Eternity’s eyes.
WPC: SERENITY (the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled)
MY WALL 
being in the presence of God is what I like the most:)
lovely pictures
Great set of photos!
Beautiful words and images, Imelda. The portrait of the children is very sweet.
Beautiful interpretation of serenity. So touching. The close-up of the sparrow is my favourite. It’s a bit fuzzy, but I love how the sparrow looks like it might have just woke up – annoyed that it got woken up 😀
serene nature
This is beautiful. I love your gentle touch with the lens 🙂
Lovely post, Imelda. Your words and images show that Serenity has so many possibilities.

Simply beautiful, Imelda. The photo of your children does depict such innocence 🙂
