small steps
one day at a time
sparrows in the yard


small steps
one day at a time
sparrows in the yard


good to create
when we can
sometimes more
sometimes less
every year different


country cemetery
trumpet vines
growing taller
than the gravestones
My poem was published by Time Of Singing Poetry Journal, Summer 2012.



sometimes when I pray
before a meal, I remember
my grandmother’s prayers
in Swedish, and her voice


book shelves
with cards on display
a handmade gift
and a few old dishes
decades of life so far


praying the Psalms
and reading poetry
books and journals
I write new poems
about everyday life

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