William May died on January 1, 2022. What sad news! Over more than three years he sent me nearly 20 poems that always lifted my spirits and with their tone they optimistically evoked God's presence and optimistically kindled my hope. You can read all of William May's poems at:
As we approach Thanksgiving Day in the United States, I want to share a poem that I received a very thoughtful poem from Mrs. Drenda Wassner in Long Beach, California. She is the grandmother of Brennan Hilgen. He and his wife Michala served for two years in the African Country of Malawi starting in 2017.
I love the poetry of William D. May of Chicago. He hadn't sent me anything in about a year and I asked for something new....which he just sent today, September 17, 2021
In 1992 I was a guest speaker in the Los Angeles congregation. My friend with whom we traveled together from Pasadena took notes, but as his habit was, he took them in the form of spontaneously generated poetry.
