in a bowl of water
by the window

small home library
books and journals
to read at different times
some to reread
and some to give away

small flowers
close to the ground
many ways to grow

Prompt for April 10, 2023

Daily writing prompt

If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?

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.

trees in bloom
some in pink
a color Mom loved
to see me wear
