Springs sunrise aglow
upon the wooded glen awash
with dawns first light
caressing these still
barren branches laced with
the budding of promise kept
year upon year glorious rebirth
as subtilely seen small green
leaves emerging on the forest floor
these tiny plants herald their
sweet Springs caress anointing
the earth with christened hope
as a babes first breath to fill
the lonely heart yet overflow
with joy of Springs renewed
promise of God's eternal
Grace and Love.


A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Nice poem Ellie and I especially like the words:

with joy of Springs renewed
promise of God's eternal
Grace and Love.


I think of your son often and hope he will well and safe.
