A woman is a tree of life;
the heavens know her grace.
In her is found an essence that
eclipses time and space.

Life is Golden
©2010 Susan Noyes Anderson (poem only)
Are we condemned to take our lives for granted?
Must loss be felt (or feared) before the joy?
Does gratitude grow stale when goodness gathers,
when all is well with every girl and boy?
Life Has A Rhythm

life has a rhythm all its own
it bends and dips and flows
it moves through channels
swirls in eddies
goes and stops and goes

and Her People

Americans are different
as Americans can be.
We hail from north, south, east and west…
from sea to shining sea.
Union: the Nature

our roots run
together
trunk to trunk
we rise up
bark on bark
we grow
Neglect Not the Gift That Is in Thee…
©1999 Susan Noyes Anderson (poem only)
The gift is given. Will we make a space
within the cluttered circles of our lives?
As mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and wives,
will we lay hold or run an endless race?
The Man of Galilee

Gethsemane brought Jesus to His knees.
“Remove this cup from me,” He dared to ask.
His humble prayer, “Thy will, not mine, be done,”
allowed no respite from the fearsome task.
The Gifts of Creation

How bless’d are we by all of God’s creation!
What miracles attend His outstretched hand!
Adoring is our gaze across the mountains,
Appreciative, our feet upon the land.
