Spring Bounty

I found no berries, no pulpy roots and the boughs above me bore no fruit So I layed on the grass I gnawed on a blade I can't be sure... how long I stayed I fell asleep...a while, ...I think... When springtime came, and I awoke I saw the fruit, and it was good I gave my thanks, and then I prayed....

Awesome description of the hope that is born anew each Easter morning. In Daytona we celebrate an interdenominational sunrise service on the beach and the sky over the water looks just as you described "crimson and gold." You and Nette work incredibly with imagery. This is an outstandig entry for Dr. Ram's contest and I wish you success, my friend. Love, Carolyn
