Christmas morning
prayers for health and peace
before dawn . . .
“perfect peace”
Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.
Isaiah 26: 3 (KJV)
“And the Word . . .”
And the Word
was made flesh,
and dwelt among us . . .
full of grace
and truth.
From John 1:14 (KJV)

Old and New: Large Print
old and new
art in my study
poetry by my chair
and art on the walls
comfort during
an illness or loss
a good memory
of support
and the new says
to look forward
as well
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
And So My Soul: large print poem
And so my soul
Spills over
Into print again
As the sun spills
Over flowers
And the neighborhood
Sleeps
Endurance is eloquent
And marigolds are
Admirable because
They bloom
So long
Oh, my heart
Is tender
Yet God keeps it
Strong
And so my soul
Spills over
Into print again
Ellen Grace Olinger
Time of Singing,1991
From my post, Old Poem: And So My Soul. I thought it would be helpful to some readers to also offer a large print version.
