~ let the memories be your hymns - new life is music ~ quote by poet A humble lamp shone in the folds of the night After winter evaporated and spring slowly returned - soft I appeared speechless could hardly breathe but gathered sight and sound - soft The newborn lamb lifts its head, tired ... with curly fur With mother's care and crystal water Kisses on the cheeks and eyelids as the rainbow on the white clouds - soft A little trembling soft lamb was born barely bigger than a spot on our earth This morning the cold earth broke - it's spring ... wonderfully soft

Dear Anne, the gentle arrival of spring is aptly compared to the birth of a small lamb. It's fleecy fur and limbs are so soft. The recurring motif ' soft' adds to the effect of the poem. All the best dear friend. Love and hugs!

Very well done. Anne-Lise. PS Just found out last week that our eldest daughter is expecting identical twin boys due in August. Her first. Our first grandson to the younger of our two daughters turned 5 ON 2ND Feb and is loving school. I am now 5 years cancer free. Best Wishes David in NZ

Your picture is so remarkable, Anne-Lise. I particularly appreciate the deliberate use of the term "soft" as a recurring motif, which serves to accentuate the exquisite allure of the current season and the endearing nature of the lamb.

So sweet and precious, 'barely bigger than a spot on the earth', and yet more precious and important than anything in the world to his mama. How gentle, soft, precious and sweet. I love this beautiful gem.
