My poem was published years ago in SMILE, Joyce M. Johnson, Ed. and Humoresque, Jean Calkins, Ed.
Reprinted at Short Holiday Poems and Large Print Poems yesterday, if you would like to visit these blogs. I still remember seeing this poem.

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,
and tell of all thy wondrous works.
Psalm 26: 7

“sunrise” was published by hedgerow #133, autumn 2020; and was the Daily Haiku: February 16, 2021 at Charlotte Digregorio’s Writer’s Blog.
