more beauty and
comfort every year

beautiful today
and will bloom again
in forsythia time

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.

snowflakes fall
by my study window
one post at a time
with hope and beauty
new work grows
