For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth;
the time of the singing of the birds is come,
and the voice of the turtle is heard
in our land
Song of Solomon 2: 11-12 (KJV)

Welcoming Hope: Poems for those in need is a book that we published with Time of Singing poetry journal. I reread the book recently, and the poems are strong and timeless.
Lora Homan Zill and I served as the Editors. Charles A. Waugaman was the Art Editor and Illustrator.
The book includes poems by many poets. With the universal themes of faith and hope, the book continues to be a beautiful work of art.
The book can be ordered from The Blue Collar Artist Time of Singing. All proceeds benefit Time of Singing. You can also learn more about Time of Singing “quarterly Christian poetry journal from Wind & Water Press.”
