Each month, I try to review some of the past posts and years in my archives. Today I am looking at July 2010, as that is when I began Poems From Psalms And Nature. When the time arrives to create a new book or two from my blogs, I think the review work will already be complete. I update my archives here and there too.
Be still, and know
that I am God
Psalm 46: 10a (KJV)
each flower
a star for a time
daylilies
patterns on my floor
moving with the breeze
sun from the West
highlights
branches of leaves

names and addresses
for dear friends
no longer on earth
old address book
not yet written
in the overflowing book
cards and envelopes
with last known
addresses
still wanting to remember
what may no longer
be current – places I was
people I knew

rereading Bible verses
I recall from younger years
God knew
He would bring me
here from there
and faith grows
I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
