Hosta and Ash Tree Stump

hosta plants grow

hosta plants grow
around the ash tree stump
an abundance of health
and new green

as if to say
we knew you would not
last the storm
we are here

there is new beauty now
new hope and a new time

reading the Gospels
a few verses at a time
raindrops on branches

childhood memories
of singing in the choir
Palm Sunday

reading a memoir
and then the view
outside today

as I look through
poetry books
from the last many years
some poets here
some poets there

Ellen Grace Olinger

writing and reading
I don’t see the dust
then seeing I remember

and know He does not forget

and understands with Love

For he knoweth our frame;
he remembereth we are dust.

Psalm 103: 14 (KJV)
