and Purposeful Prose
Winter Woes The dark and dreary days of Winter Oft they leave me cold and blue Waking bereft of warmth and gladness Longing for a different view. Where hath gone my joy and wonder? Where are all my skies of blue? Lord, have mercy The way is murky My soul is weary My song's out [...]

To all my friends who’ve come and gone And those who’ve gone to be with God I’m glad I knew you I'm thankful we met Your love and kindness, I’ll never forget. I miss your hellos And your words of encouragement The things that made you uniquely you And all the thoughtful things you said [...]

Years ago (many years ago) I wrote a poem called "My life as a Tree." This poem was written before I ever knew Jesus. It was quite depressing and not at all hopeful. I must have tossed it out for this very reason. Life wasn't so funny at the time, but now (even when I'm [...]
