hosta and daylilies
goldenrod grows too
I sit in silence
and think about
what needs
to be done now
and what can wait
until Autumn and Winter
Years ago, an older friend said, “You learn to save some things for Winter.”

Praying a few Psalms
Praying a few Psalms
on a Monday morning
with raindrops and
new green growth
on evergreens
breakfast and music
breakfast and music
when a song begins
I know the words
Amazing Grace
early morning
cup from a thrift store
on my grandmother’s
straw chest
near the window
fills with light
warmth and textures
warmth and textures
of colorful handmade
afghans and blankets
from Bethesda *
I wonder about the people
who made them
stitch-by-stitch . . .
and why they let them go
perhaps a move from
one home to another
and/or a ministry of love
like prayer shawls
a passing to another Place
perhaps . . .
knowing their art
will warm another
and needing no credit
imagine buying such a gift
for a few dollars
and on sale too
