Evergreen Trees
evergreen trees
with their branches
in May winds
through another
winter and green
and growing
resilient
some broken branches
interesting shapes
shelter for birds
the years show
and they are
beautiful as
they bless
today
May 10, 2015 (with some revisions today in the visual presentation of the poem). The WordPress editor inspires me to try new ideas.

Psalm 89: 1 and Photos
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever:
with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness
to all generations.
Psalm 89: 1 (KJV)
Karl took the photos in Oostburg, Wisconsin last summer.
Generations of Faith
how quickly
another generation
grows
seems I only
looked away
for a moment
how good their work
how beautiful their art
My poem is a part of a longer post at Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin, which we began in December 2009. The post there is Peaceful Gratitude.
Karl took this photo at the Oostburg Public Library last summer. “A Little Library Growing Every Day”

I will hope
The LORD is my portion,
saith my soul;
therefore will I hope in him.
