grateful today
for perennials
that grow and bloom
through so many
different years
the wildflowers
we did not plant
yet found a place here
the formal gardens
we see in the area
and their serene beauty
what work there must be
to offer this view
as we drive by on our way
home
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
At Poems From Psalms And Nature, I am working to review our series from March 2020 – July 2020. These posts are short selections from the 150 Psalms, with art by many people. I also post some of my poems and reflections.
If you are interested, these are my two recent posts, and you can read/view more from there. My goal is to offer a few moments of beauty and hope.

Thy statutes have been my songs
in the house of my pilgrimage.
