Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
My mother taught literature and read novels. When she was no longer able to read, I read to her. And found old movies that she would enjoy, and that would recall her life chapters. We also watched current programs.
I have read all of Jan Karon’s novels. Wonderful characters. Good examples of faith through many stories. You can learn more about Jan’s books at Jan Karon’s Mitford site.

I posted this poem yesterday at Grief And Acceptance.
predawn and watching
the sky grow light
gift of another day
to read and write
sunrise
for as long
as I can remember
the wonder of books
breakfast and music
when a song begins
I know the words
Amazing Grace
I believe God has given us all gifts, and the expression of the gifts can change over time. My parents were teachers and then volunteers after they retired.
Gratitude and hope continue to grow.
Many aspects to consider, for another good question. Always room to grow.
How would you rate your confidence level?

I can say: steady growth with poetry, because of practice with blogs. I also read blogs, books, and poetry print journals. Reading is an important part of growing as a writer, as many have observed. Practice helps with “confidence level.” Always more to learn, a poem can be revised, and an editor may have a good idea.
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us:
and establish thou the work of our hands upon us;
yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Psalm 90: 17
