Poem to follow my post for the bloganuary prompt today.
roses in the sun
some ending
some beginning
and some in full bloom
good to grow older

reading from books
with well-earned wisdom
light on evergreens
I have mentioned Madeleine L’Engle and Luci Shaw. They wrote a book together called Friends for the Journey: Two extraordinary women celebrate friendships made and sustained through the seasons of life (copyright 1997 by the two authors; Servant Publications, Ann Arbor, Michigan). I saw on Amazon that there is a 2003 paperback version from Regent College Publishing, and I ordered a used copy. I love seeing the growth and history of a favorite book.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called the children of God.
Matthew 5: 9 (KJV)
Blessed are the meek:for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 5: 5 (KJV)
