a small card
in a devotional book
from a thrift store
words of encouragement
from one person to another
I keep the card with the book
and its history today
and tomorrow

Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin (archives)
wpclipart
sometimes
sometimes
it is enough
to simply hold
one of my
well-worn Bibles
and thank God
and then reread
a Psalm I’ve read
more times than
I know and still
discover something
new

waiting
waiting
for the coffee
by a window
and the leaves
in a little wind
seem like wings
of a small bird
or butterfly

Quiet Winter Gardens
quiet winter
gardens
resting under
light snow
am in no hurry
for spring (many
winter projects)
yet feel it in the
welcome growing light
of longer days
and looking out
my window
I know where
the snowdrops
will bloom

2020: A Favorite Poem
far from perfect
and in need of grace
we found our way
to unconditional love
Happy New Year 2021
