Her parents named her Nora Ann,
Nora Ann McLawler,
but no one called her Nora Ann,

Read “Gus Was a Shy Firefly” by Marcia N. Lynch from Issue #10 ✨

“A Wellie Wearing Seal” by Jane Murton-Armer from Issue #10 🦭

Read “Wild Thoughts at the Beach” by Emma-Jane Peterson from Issue 10 🌊
I’ll imagine my feet might slither on rocks,
Like the snake I once held at the zoo.
But in truth, I’m still safe, my sneakers grip hard,
With God, I tame fear — you can too..

In the sweet songs of nightingales,
In the sound of rain on the windowpane,
In knowing God’s love never fails…

About the trees I climbed …
