CHRISTMAS PEACE © 2001 by K. H. Strom morning glistened, starch-white, icicle crisp, squeaking
with Arctic cold, a pale and distant sun glowed without warmth through filmy curtains of ice-crystal fog,
across the city, row upon row, soft columns of white rose briskly upward from cosy homes snuggling
into the serenity of Christmas week, gone was the rush of traffic the busy shopping throng, at last
had come the peace proclaimed time lingered lovingly over us in that dear Holy week blessing
the final hours of the dying year. PUPPY'S PRAYER © 2001 by K. H. Strom Are they
lost - or am I where did they go my first true friends and where that place I love so dear.
I miss a voice a certain touch I'm scared and lonely here. Strange hands are these that
feed me now though kind enough and fair - I want back what was mine before when I was a puppy
there. Please help me Lord to find the door that leads to home again. MEMORIES
© 2001 by K. H. Strom years fall by in silken whispers sudden to stand
at yesterday's door there, first home beginnings - paradox
bride's castle of delight - despair there the girl,
a weary stranger lost in foreign land learning - doing, life demanding often more than she
can give tears behind a smile flashing there every girl becoming woman, determined
to be brave
