150 poems
the Psalms
* * *
Deep calleth unto deep *
filling my heart with hope
greater than my mind
* The first line is from Psalm 42.

childhood memories
of singing in the choir
Palm Sunday
* * *
Holy Week
lily flowers
wait to bloom
* * *
reading the Gospels
a few verses at a time
raindrops on branches
* * *
Good Friday
shadows of trees
on the road
* * *
spring gardens
return to life
forgiveness
* * *
roots in His Word
I will flower
again and again
* * *
trees in bloom
some in pink
a color Mom loved
to see me wear
picture Resurrection
* * *
Sunday afternoon
rereading Gospel accounts
of His Resurrection
imagine being there
* * *
after rain
light shines through
tears on windows
Easter lily
in full bloom
* * *

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.
Matthew 28: 6a (KJV)
