Christmas Hope

Ellen Grace Olinger
good to create
when we can
sometimes more
sometimes less
every year different
poems we read
again and again
washing an old plate
the pattern still new
winter soon
plans to read
and write poetry
holiday lights
on the mantel
moments of grace

path to the garage
deer discovered
the hosta plants
autumn days
are new each year
books to read again
warm soup
with fresh vegetables
autumn colors
