Creative Writing The Creative Writing Class began as part of the Renaissance Program at Magnolia Manor, Richmond Hill in 2005. It proved to be a great success with residents bringing in poems and memoirs, sitting down and swapping stories to their heart’s content. at Richmond Hill Stories are shared, writing is read aloud, and memories become vivid once again. Joan Smith, a retired English teacher, facilitates the class along with her husband, Dan. Below is a poem written by resident, Helen Eisenberg. Lord, Speak to Me Father God, speak to me what you would say, Speak not too boldly, less I faint from fear, Tell me again that you love me, That to you I am very dear. Thank you for those words, So palpable to my spirit. Now what would you have me do? Nothing? Did I hear you say “Nothing!” Pictured left to right, front row: Betty Hudson, Helen Szymd, Miriam Moore, and Joshua Lee. On the back row: Joan Smith, Bill Moore, and Joan’s husband, Dan Smith. Did I hear you say: “Be!” What shall I be? “Be like I am.” You are love, Can I like thee? Only if you help me can I care. Can I look into a neighbor’s eyes and care? What causes that harried look, that evasive eye? Are your life painful? I pause in prayer. A son is going off to battle, A daughter runs away, A mother’s mind is slipping, Oh, what can I helpful say? Creative Writing teacher, Joan Smith, holds a book written by Joshua Lee. 6 Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com Our God is all around us. He whispers low to me. He puts His arms around you He says He is a friend to thee. Instill into my brain, my thoughts, my heart, Love, sweet kind love, truthful, free. Unshackle my mind from hatred. I would love to be like Thee. — Helen Eisenberg
NATIONAL DAY OF Prayer Residents of Magnolia Manor in Macon gathered for a special program on the National Day of Prayer. After a brief devotion and prayers for our nation, residents enjoyed a wonderful musical program performed by members of the Middle Georgia Home School Chorus. The chorus, which meets for practice once a week, provides musical enrichment for home schooled students ages 10 to 18 throughout the Middle Georgia area. Students shared both choral numbers and instrumental performances. The instrumental performances included violin, piano and guitar with several of the students sharing original compositions.
