new green leaves
on trees that knew
the colors
of dramatic autumns
in silence sometimes
and in small ways
new dreams grow

Welcoming Hope: Poems for those in need
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.”

sometimes by sight
in my life of faith

Palm Sunday
childhood memories
of singing in the choir
Palm Sunday
tiny leaves
on trees
no prayer
in my heart
too small for God
