The WordPress prompt today is Celebrate Good Times. We are asked how we would celebrate if we received some “wonderful, improbable, hoped-for good news.”
I hope I would take some time to pray from the Psalms. They include so many emotions, from heartache to praise. Then I’d probably ask Karl to share a meal at one of our favorite family restaurants. Judi’s Place in Oostburg, Wisconsin is one wonderful example.

This is a poem from 2012. One of the reasons I began my small sites was to create resources for teachers and others who are looking for short poems for projects, a bulletin board etc. I state that readers are welcome to reprint my poems, with proper credit. Ellen Grace Olinger
This is a new poem this year. I think it would work well for a birthday card for someone older (like me).
roses in the sun
some ending
some beginning
and some in full bloom
good to grow older
