Today--By Lori Orth--United States

Today

The sky is grey--
the mountains high

With love and faith...

The sky turns blue--
the mountains fade
into fields of flowers

Lori Orth has worked in the business world for 30 years.  She was able to use her creativity to help businesses achieve their goals.  She now spends her time helping her aging parents and working with charities.  She enjoys spending time with family and friends.   She strives to touch other people's lives in a positive way.

(From your editor—Lori is my sister, her poem sent to Inge Wesdijk without Inge's knowledge of our relationship. I wanted Lori to earn this publication on her own merit.  This day, I rejoice in sharing our poetry community with her.  Lori, “Today”, I hope is just the beginning of sharing your talents with others.  Love you sis!)
