My life has needed to change a few times, because of health. I have needed to revise some goals, and live in a more simple and healthy way.

And it is good to see others grow where I used to offer my gifts.

Blogs work so well for me, and I am grateful every day. Take good care. Many blessings!

flowers grow well
in the gardens
hope for butterflies

Large Print Poems is a site that we began in August 2020. I reprint poems that seem to last over the years, and also new poems in large print.
