- Summer – The Time of Growth Before the Harvest – A Poem by Willliam D. May September 3, 2018
I have enjoyed the poetry of William D. May of Chicago. It has an uplifting and encouraging tone. This is SUMMER. More to follow.
Now we must put aside the physical things. Now is the time we must grow.
There is only a short time before the harvest. Now we must take our weeds out with a ...

The grass is growing, the trees sprouting leaves and the days are now sunny.
Bees are humming and gathering nectar to make honey.
Flowers are gracing the land, birds are singing their sweet song.
We are shedding our winter wraps and the days are getting long.
The new feast season is starting for us. The Passover is almost here.
It ...

Oh, to be in Texas
Now that spring is there,
With bluebonnets and daffodils
And golden sunbeams in her hair.
White dogwoods glisten
In greenland shade,
And redbuds add color
To woodland glade.
Robins, and redbirds,
And sparrows sing
Their joyous thanksgiving,
To every living thing.
The lakesides glisten
With minnow schools,
While tadpoles frolic
In shallow pools.
As the light fades slowly
In the west,
And Mother Earth puts
Her brood to rest
All ...

It’s the language of ”Everlasting Love”
It’s the language of love – A new language to learn
The way you speak – how much you discern
Is it caring, loving, and filled with concern
Excitement fills the air- when you go to the place God ...

THE LOOKING GLASS
When I realize how my life’s been spent
Making a self-image for the world to see,
And how that picture has now been rent
By God’s assessment of what makes me, me,
I am confounded and undone
As truth refutes my view.
In vanity I have believed a lie,
And in conceit, I tried to pass it on to you.
Now, ...
