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.

Kitchen Window: Large Print

I remember when the daylilies and hosta bloomed. Not so long ago.

How the yard can be full of perennial colors at their times in the seasons.

Then something small adds so much at another time.

November grey
red holiday bow
on the wreath
