Remember

So many stand alone in sorrow
beneath bare trees and grey skies
I remember when our hearts sung with joy
and our eyes smiled at all they saw
think to the time when we walked in fields of green
to a time when the world awaited spring
now in our mid-winter of pain
recall trees laden with blossom, sweet and new
remember  when the sun warmed us
and busy bees about us did swarm
think back to those happy days
when we lived life in the spring*



* may God bring us through this and into a Spring filled with newness, courage and victory.
