Helen Mueller Poems

Tears of sorrow will be shed today
For the loss of our brother, Joseph,
Who touched our lives in so many ways
With his wisdom, humility, and compassion,
...

What a wondrous thing
Is a tiny seed
Planted in the earth.
With a little sun,
...

In a place chosen just for me, I wait,
Silently, patiently, for someone to touch
My silken tresses, to admire my pretty dress
Trimmed with lace and fancy buttons,
...

No sweet kiss to say, goodnight,
Only a pillow to hug,
How I need a lullaby
To soothe me gently to sleep.
...
