About This Poem
Noticias de hermana - news from sister
News
She sent a lovely photograph. She called it “diamonds in the snow.”
Of winter sunlight coaxing brilliance from the crystal cold.
I smiled and thought the best for her.
Fullness, joy and peace of heart.
How long would her hope hold?
Reflection
Can sunlight heal the scars of sorrowed joys that grow,
in the fond remembrance of loving thoughts we hold?
His life. His death one dark December.
No fullness, joy and peace of heart,
her hope, imprisoned by the cold.
Then and Now
Called long ago to bear the lonely widow’s yoke, little did she know.
A lowly shepherd’s love would renew her hope grown cold.
A hint of love, that, she could remember.
Fullness, joy and peace of heart.
Would love, her hope unfold?
Now
Winter’s kiss sends wooly flocks in scamper to her valley farm below.
A shepherd brings to her a gift, his tender heart of gold.
He smiles and thinks the best of her.
Fullness, joy and peace of heart,
Hope and love, behold!
New
Her smiling heart sings Mi Amore and paints her all aglow.
A pastor from Peru speaks bashful words, but bold.
His smile. Brings life this light December.
Fullness, Joy and peace of heart.
Diamonds, melting cold.
