RENEWAL

RENEWAL The seasonal baton has been handed on Months of renewal lie ahead on the track Winter’s cold and unfeeling face is now gone And the growing warmth of spring is welcomed back Relishing the chance to smile and laugh once more In contrast to the grim time just weeks before Of lingering memories, the merest hint Each year runs a marathon, never a sprint

I just love your writing style and voice. It's smooth but conveys profound messages. This one captures the essence of 'renewal' not just of nature but of one's heart and soul. I liked 'each year runs a marathon, never a sprint.' Such truth in that line. Have a great weekend, Sara
