driving home
on different roads
and streets

I remember places

and then

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.

“Evening, and morning, and at noon”
Evening, and morning, and at noon,
will I pray, and cry aloud:
and he shall hear my voice.
Psalm 55: 17
sometimes when I pray
sometimes when I pray
before a meal, I remember
my grandmother’s prayers
in Swedish, and her voice
