Thy statutes
have been my songs
in the house of my pilgrimage.
Psalm 119: 54

Thy statutes
have been my songs
in the house of my pilgrimage.
Psalm 119: 54

grateful for flowers
all year – gardens
and stores – photos


grey sky with light
words from long ago
The LORD is my shepherd . . .
Psalm 23

That I may publish
with the voice of thanksgiving,
and tell of all thy wondrous works.
Psalm 26: 7

family tablecloths
passed on to me
they look like
the art I select
for my blogs


predawn
and watching
the sky grow light
gift of another day
to read and write

new time to learn
though many years here
grateful to grow older
blessings for all generations
we all grow together


seasons in the gardens
older now and perhaps
not as many flowers
but rather the perennials
that grow bloom
always return

clouds and sky
spruce tree branches still
reading poems
that offer hope
and rest

my heart sees
what is no longer here
buildings and changes
over time
my heart sees
people I knew
and gardens that grew
in different places
I write from my heart
and my heart sees
in new ways again
