Yuma Pioneer Cemetery, Yuma, Arizona
in a desert land
dust whirling round the tombstones
morning, noon and night—
how helpful to remember
the same end awaits us all

Three Virtues
Wellton Memorial Cemetery, Wellton, Arizona
To submit one’s hope
to her who bore the Baby
is not a lost cause.
She will instruct you
in the tangled ways of love—
you have naught to fear.
Finding faith renewed
is the highlight of her way—
every pilgrim knows.
