My father was called Home in March, 40 years ago this year. He was a veteran and history teacher. Once he said to me, “Everything will be OK in the end.”
My parents had “big picture faith.”
One day at a time . . . we try our best and also learn from what life teaches.
For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD:
thou art my trust from my youth.
Psalm 71: 5

My haiku was published at Poems From Psalms And Nature on May 16, 2012. Reprinted in the book, The Helping Hand Haiku Anthology (Including Senryu, Tanka, and Haiga). Edited by Robert Epstein (2020, Middle Island Press).
Karl and I also reprinted the poem in Quiet Christmas Poetry (2014).
Evening, and morning, and at noon,
will I pray, and cry aloud:
and he shall hear my voice.
Psalm 55: 17
We began Large Print Poems on August 7, 2020. Hope the posts are useful, and you are welcome to share the site with others. I often present poems in different ways, over the years, and at different sites. Thank you.
daylilies bloom
every year and again
this year
garden memories
some losses over time
what stays and blooms
every year – snowdrops,
daffodils, daylilies, hosta,
goldenrod – and new plants
to try a few at a time
summer garden
some work yesterday
we keep the path
to the door clear
rest in an old chair
careful with the sun
and new ideas for
the garden this year

POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
small home library
books and journals
to read at different times
some to reread
and some to give away
From my post today with reflections at Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin.
new summer season
I begin the day
with Psalm 1
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalm 1: 3
