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
