40 Days of Lent - Paula Frew - Poetry - image of cross draped with purple, with palm leaves behind and rocks at base

Image created on Canva

40 days to celebrate
what the Lord has done.
40 days to celebrate
Jesus’s love for everyone.
40 days for fasting and
denying yourself of one
luxury to remind yourself
of the time Jesus spent alone
with Satan in the desert.
Draw closer to Christ and no one
else. It is a holy time
to remember the removed stone.

+ postsBio

Transplanted from Ohio to Kentucky to be near her only daughter and three young grandsons, the author wrote her first poem in the fourth grade. She fell in love with the form and was first published in an anthology at fourteen. A battle with multiple sclerosis has caused her to find her home in a nursing home, where she has found time to craft her poetry as well as time to teach writing to other residents. She has been published in several literary magazines and anthologies, including Ohio Bards and The Walt Whitman Anthology.
