Share a book or a poem that is especially meaningful to you.

I shared this little book with my group on aging, and I would like to share it here too. It isn't often that a book moves me to tears, but this poem did just that.

The book is on Amazon, and I found it as a member of kindle unlimited. It is a poem about loss, but the result of which can be new growth. It is beautifully, and poignantly written, and I highly recommend it.

The title is "The Leaf That Was Afraid to Fall", by DB Stryker. Enjoy!

I discovered Dear Mary solitude readings during my cancer diagnosis.
I just recently read her Devotions a book not to disappoint.

Praying
by M.O.

It doesn't have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot,
or a few small stones,
just pay attention, then patch

a few words together and don't try
to make them elaborate, this isn't
a contest but the doorway

into thanks, and a silence
in which another voice may speak.
