It is in the grey of icy evenings When those dimly-lit wishes seem to fade, A bitter nip, a woe this season brings The chafing of hope's ardor, delayed. Even though I grieve during the passage Of summer’s festive and vigorous trails How could I not ponder on this new stage; As the quiet of misty Fall unveils Reflective pauses where breaths gently ease The dark and long wait of unanswered squall; Endowing thoughts with a hymnal reprise And, guiding stillness with poise that enthrals. It must be the cold flakes in dusk-like stent That restores hope with godly contentment. Sara Kendrick’s A Penny For Your Thoughts Contest “Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark.” ~George Iles ----------- by nette onclaud 3/20/2015

Though the words are soft and tender the praise that raises is powerful and loud . . . sweet, wonderful, and precious are these thoughts -- Sara got a bargain for a penny! 7
