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)
Poem Inspired by Psalm 103

We achieved 100 Posts at Large Print Poems this week. As we create this large print resource, I am adding images that are easy to view.
always beauty
after the leaves fall
and the days grow short
holiday lights begin
small town main streets
and country roads
November skies and fields
have a stark and simple
beauty
when winter settles in
for a long time
after Christmas
the light in January
is already changed
from now
Ellen Grace Olinger
The poem is from 2017.

Readers over the years seem to especially like these poems. This is the first post in a new series. We began Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin in December 2009. I review my archives often.
You are welcome to reprint my poems with proper credit. Ideas are a bulletin board in a classroom, library, hospital, nursing home, etc. Thank you!

HARVEST
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
He that goeth forth and weepeth,
bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him.
Psalm 126: 5-6 (KJV)
