Elizabeth Sultana

I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland and graduated from Hope College in Holland, Michigan. During the Korean conflict I served in the U.S. Navy. Emanuel and I have five children and twelve grand children--no great grand-kids yet. The initials EDRES are an acrostic of my name. I started writing poems when I was about nine years old and have continued writing them throughout the years.

My Garden

The flowers in my garden

Are blooming bright and fair;

Though some are uninvited,

They all are welcome there.

The petals of the roses

Are touched with rainbow hue;

Every leaf and bud and blossom

Is kissed with morning dew.

The naughty dandelion

Hidden in the grass,

Has tossed her golden head

To flirt with
