Thank you

My eternal Father,

Down a gentle slope,

Two souls walk in stride,

Lifting baskets filled with hope,

Mother and child, side by side.

A familiar scene,

The seashore and sun,

My Heart’s Plea

(Hope beyond the covering grey clouds)

My gentle blue summer sky,

And this warm sea,

A calling out to fly,

And a sad song of plea.

Hello, Thursday.

Will the flowers bloom,

Under the clouds, grey?

Or of cello suites’ gloom?

Our recollection of dreams,

My welcome interruption,

Of songs in the flowers,

Echoing ( Read more... )
