older years

new green leaves
new green leaves
on trees that knew
the colors
of dramatic autumns
in silence sometimes
and in small ways
new dreams grow
Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
Palm Sunday
childhood memories
of singing in the choir
Palm Sunday
tiny leaves
on trees
no prayer
in my heart
too small for God
Easter And Spring Poetry
old and new
memories grow together
Spring flowers and trees
lily of the valley
fragrance of forgiveness
memories of love
losses in life
low setting sun
through branches of trees
now rises again
as birds quietly sing
Sunday rest
prayers and gifts
of Winter with
new hope
for Spring
praying the Psalms
and reading poetry
books and journals
I write new poems
about everyday life
Ellen Grace Olinger
February light
February light
on the trees
easy to imagine
their new growth
in Spring
Haiku
new year sunrise
light fills
the red poinsettia
spruce tree branches
by the windows
each day a painting
