used books
new for me
light on old
and new leaves
of a house plant

R efresh and renew
A ppreciate plants in all their stages
I nvite new dreams as we age and life changes
N ever without hope
RAIN


R ose clouds at sunrise, and the day
O pens to songs, silence, and new
S trength, with hope
E verlasting
ROSE

good to create
when we can
sometimes more
sometimes less
every year different
Poem by Ellen Grace Olinger
