Loud upon my windowpane
My mind wants it not
Earnestly my ears try to ignore
Yet persistant is the rain
Tanka
Tanka poems
Scripture fulfilled
Imputation was given
Abraham believed
Righteousness was bestowed
He was called “Friend of God”

#NationalBestFriendsDay
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. James 2:23
Home looks the same
Nothing has changed but me
Taking baby steps
Now recovery begins
I’m learning to walk again
Tanka
Time to head home
Leaving hospital today
This goodbye is easy
Everyone was very nice
But my home sounds good to me
Tanka



Gilkey Covered Bridge–built in 1939–Crosses Thomas Creek near Scio, Oregon
A railroad bridge is right next to it, that used to be covered also until 1960.
