morning light
forms part of a cross
on the wood wall
my faith completes
the picture
*
country graves
silk flowers bloom
by the stones
*
weathered trees
strong and beautiful
my time of healing
*
Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5: 4 (KJV)
*
roots in His Word
I will flower
again and again

a small card
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

Evergreen Trees
evergreen trees
with their branches
in May winds
through another
winter and green
and growing
resilient
some broken branches
interesting shapes
shelter for birds
the years show
and they are
beautiful as
they bless
today
