Shine

Thought lost, the beauty that surrounds Cultivated from the supple hand of man Risen from earth and washed clear by rain But what not planted by one is not all gone Seeds still sprout from the wings of old And the growth of good lives on In spirits of me and spirits of you Where the sun has not yet been To where she lies in rest Hues of hope revive And in the morning She shall shine Bring faith my child And the world will flourish

Good Morning Tim. Allow me to simply say "So let it be said so let it be written so let it be done". This is wonderful poetry. It provides comfort and peace. Well done entirely.

Wonderful words of hope and faith my friend. Without faith there is no hope and without hope there is no faith. Great job here. God Bless and Happy Easter to you and yours. JB
