Poem by Ellen Grace Olinger – Journal Notes Blog

country roads

country roads
signs of change
in the landscape
and sky

yard overgrown
with plants
for bees
and butterflies

so much can wait
one step at a time
so much gets done

tiny leaves
on trees
no prayer
in my heart
too small for God

Ellen Grace Olinger

old weathered trees
in afternoon sun
seem so peaceful
why worry about leaves
not just yet
the sun is longer
and maybe warmer
and the sky is blue

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: Ellen Grace Olinger

morning light
forms part of a cross
on the wood wall
my faith completes
the picture
