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


Ellen Grace Olinger
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

poem or photo
perhaps a painting
flowers in the wind

August afternoon
time I know well
gardens, months,
seasons, years

summer garden
some plants rest
some grow



growing older
goldenrod and roses
refreshed by rain
Poem from 2010.
S easons of memories
O ver time and new memories
N ow can be created and
G row
SONG


now that I know
their name
I see them everywhere
hydrangeas
