Today snow covers half of the window near my computer. I look forward to every day. What will I learn? Perhaps a new poem.

These are my acrostic poems for the seasons.

Creative Note: My Acrostic Poems

I began My Acrostic Poems in November 2014. These poems are some of the most read poems that I have written so far. Thank you.

Poem from May 7, 2013

A Cross Necklace

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?
Daily Prompt

This prompt recalled a post from May 15, 2012: A Cross Necklace. I will reprint the post today.

The lilies-of-the-valley are beginning to bloom. My mother loved them, as I’m sure is true of many people. I was just reading poems by Luci Shaw, and I shared her books with Mom too. I remembered a marble cross necklace my mother had. She gave me permission to wear it to high school, over 40 years ago. And I lost it somehow and never found it. My mother was so kind. She pictured God’s love for me in many ways, including the keeping of material possessions in perspective.
