Grateful For Strength

The snow grips tree branches
And is frozen on the ground
There’s thick ice on the roof
For now, there’s not a sound

It is early winter morning
The sun will visit for a while
Pale yellow skies above mountains shine
Peeking through gray clouds with a smile

I say my prayers quite often lately
With so much going on every day
I’m grateful for the inner strength
Given to me along the way

Thank you my friend :) Except we had snow fall and it is causing instant congestion and today it smells.

Amen! Something we should all be thankful for, Heidi. Winter here, has come and gone. We're looking at another day in the 70's. I did enjoy your poem this morning:)
