These poems are from my archives.   So much of my life is written here now.  Blessings, Ellen

like leaves
on the winter tree
birds on every branch

Karl and I composed this poem last year.

*

holiday lights
on the mantle
moments of grace

*

winter storm
evergreen branches
bow to the ground

*

Christmas carnations
in the vase
that used to hold
fresh flowers for Mom

blessings
each in turn
return
to bless us

*

reading old letters
reflections of Christmas lights
on the water

*

winter landscape
old weathered barns
with one evergreen wreath

*

another year
gone round
and turning to the next
holiday lights on the windmill
in Cedar Grove

*
… I will hope continually
and will yet praise thee
more and more.
Psalm 71: 14 (KJV)
