A Poem: One Wave at a Time

3/20/25, 7:06 am

One wave at a time…
Faithfully rolling unto the shore
Hitting the rocky bedrock
Bringing healing as I sit and watch.
For hours.
Each time a little piece of hope
Delivered in the rhythm of the waves
Reminds me God is faithful.
Such needed blessing
During these times of uncertainty.
I am grateful to be on the shore of Lake Superior,
Doing nothing,
Watching the waves roll in.
One blessing at a time.

  6. Your poem refreshes my Hope for living, one wave at a time, seeing that life continues even when Hope is shaky. Perfect poem for these days.

    1. Thank you Suzanne.
      You get to see the waves of the big lake a lot more than we do. 😉

  9. Beautiful poem🤩 I can see you sitting there by the shoreline watching the waves rolling in. Would have loved to be there with you🥰

    1. Thank you Kari.
      It would be fun to be up there together with you sometime.
      Grandma Elizabeth was known to love it up there – it reminded her of Norway.
      Maybe that’s why I like it so much. 😉

      1. Hopefully we will be up there together some time🙏🤩 We went up there in 2017 and your grandmother eas right, it looks a bit like Norway🇳🇴 Could be the reason you like it so much also🥰

    1. Thank you Audrey.
      The words flowed onto the page.
      Usually poems don’t come easy to me, if at all. 😉

  11. Valerie, this poem and those photos fed my soul. What an exquisitely simple yet deeply moving moment for you. Or, I guess, collection of moments. And with this blog, you shared a bit of that joy with all of us. Thank you!
