Promises
My heart responds to every silent thing
The evening star, the chill of winter's sting
A world so white serene and still
The pink farewell of sun behind the hill
When day is done and worries creep
And troubles keep my thoughts from sleep
Outside there shines a twinkling star
In silence spreads it's light afar
Reminding me to keep my dreams
To trust God's light, through window streams
For moon will shine on shadowed sill
And birds still sing through wind and chill
All nature has this truth to hold
Beyond the winter, beyond the cold
There lies the dream that brings again
The simple beauty of the rain
Tomorrow comes on sparrow wings
And always brings a promised spring

I printed this poem, unsigned, folded it around a single rose from my garden
and left it under the windshield wiper of a neighbor's car (parked in her driveway).
She has been having a hard time, caring for a parent with Alzheimer's.
