Poem by Ellen Grace Olinger – Page 2

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

Faith and Art

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)

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

IT IS IMPORTANT

To have a vision
to sustain the effort
to see it all the way
through – –

Even when it seems
to leave you

It Is Important was published first in Time Of Singing. The poem has found many homes.

I included this poem in my first chapbook, And So My Soul (2001, out of print).

quiet life
the only life
I can live
want to live

wild roses
and windmills
on country roads
