Never had a tree touched my heart.
Acorns, bark, leaves to rake.
It was so ordinary, almost invisible.
Lent’s reminder of my Savior’s love – His blood.
Somehow the tree isn’t just a tree anymore.

A glove, a pitcher
sitting beside me empty
cannot satisfy

A palm branch welcome
A donkey ride, “hosanna!!”
enroute to the tree

Frosted palm branches
Spring giggles excitedly
winter’s slow retreat

The birds sing sweetly
while nearby dogs are barking.
Neither seem threatened . .

Fine feathered wisdom . . .
showing such abundant grace
I must learn their song!

The gleaming sunrays
just like silly little elves
scamper in the breeze!

Sunshine woke me up
but soon darkness covered it;
My hope is not lost!
