The Bell Pulls of my Heart

To a poet, nothing is useless

Samuel Johnson

I save things- too many things some would say

A bit of ribbon that ornamented a gift from my kids....

A dried rose of a bouquet from my husband

The puppy collar that belonged to our Labrador Retriever- gone now these many years

They all make up a pattern

A mosaic

Leonard Cohen said: ring the bells that can be rung

And these bits and pieces are the bell pulls of my heart

I do so love to hear them rhyme and chime!

They are the verses of my poem-
The lyrics to my melody

called Life

and that's poetiquejustis

I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. 

Philippians 1:3-5
