Carrie Richards Poet Rhyme

Sharing the Promise

Something spoke a promise
Whispered by the sky
And nodding clouds then passed it on
To eagles flying high
Something told the meadow
And gave the sparrow song
Who sang it to the cottontail
Who spread the warmth along
The trees soon got the message
And swayed with new delight
The raindrops danced in evening breeze
And shared it through the night
Each lily and fair flower
Stood taller on the stem
The promise shared when darkness came
                   ........The sun will rise again

Sunlite Wanter May 23, 2017 at 10:31 AM I really love this poem of hope! So glad it was featured or I never would have found your poetry. Carrie Richards May 23, 2017 at 11:23 AM Thank you so much Sunlite! I had almost forgotten about this older poem, one I wrote when I first started writing and discovered Poetry Soup. It seems so long ago :) I was surprised to see it featured !! Thanks for stopping by ! :)

Hyle Chu July 26, 2009 at 8:03 PM I read it once, but I was occupied. On my second read, it caught me by surprise. It's now my one of my favorites. This is a promise I'd like to remember.
