Three New Books by Carol Purington is a beautiful new post by her family at Woodslawn Farm. She asked her family to complete this work for her. I ordered the books and look forward to reading them.
Please visit Woodslawn Farm for more information.

childhood memories
of singing in the choir
Palm Sunday
tiny leaves
on trees
no prayer
in my heart
too small for God
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
reading old letters
reflections of Christmas lights
on the water
holiness
and humility
Christmas
Christmas night sky
becomes sunrise
tree branches
covered with ice
glisten in the sun
new year
on the horizon
simple lines
of barns and trees
in the fog
new growth
on evergreens
dinner with old friends
SMILE
Summer 2010
late September
and time with old friends
afternoon sun
shines on leaves
turning gold
2011
These two poems were written for friends from Northern Illinois University and Northeastern Illinois University – we stay in touch and I am grateful.
