From Psalm 27
Wait on the LORD:
be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psalm 27: 14
Journal Poem: Grateful Today
plants and flowers
through the seasons
how welcome the snowdrops
in Spring – daffodils, tulips
and primroses
Summer in our yard
offers daylilies, hosta, goldenrod
hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees
chrysanthemums, coneflowers,
and asters – how wonderful
to grow so well when so much
is past for the year
Just some thoughts today, that I hope to write about again. We bought chrysanthemums at Walmart in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. And saw coneflowers and asters too. Grateful today.

Published first here at Poems From Psalms And Nature on May 16, 2012.
Karl and I reprinted the poem in Quiet Christmas Poetry (2014).
Then my haiku was reprinted in this book:
The Helping Hand Haiku Anthology (Including Senryu, Tanka, and Haiga). Edited by Robert Epstein (2020, Middle Island Press).
I am grateful to see how a poem can last, be read again, and shared in new ways.
From Psalm 17
Keep me
as the apple of the eye,
hide me
under the shadow of thy wings
Psalm 17: 8
revision
another idea for a post
or poem
a different window
for a new plant
changes in daily life
to support health
