Quiet Lone Morning Time to ponder Sermon of Sunday Seed planted with faith returns more God bless my seed so that I can feed four children well On small salary and small pension from government received for husband's death in the war (Inspired by Brian Strand's contest. Edward Hooper's "Automat".)

Hi Sara, I love that painting. Edward Hopper painted so much realism into his work. And your poem about real life situations fits it well. Nice job. Lovingly, Dane

Sara this is so tearful and yet so sad,but new doors will be opened and many blessings will come so that new seeds can be planted to overcome these burdens that weigh heavy in your mind.But I do believe in miracles for all those people who suffer from the loss of a loved one....
