Poem for a short, cold, end of November week

PLANTING HOPE
(c) 2008 by Andria Warmflash Rosenbaum

She tows hope outside

and lays it gently on the brown lawn,

prepared to sweat, digging

until the muscles

in her arms and back cry enough,

readying a deep hole

in the center of the garden.

Throughout the months

of bare branches

barren beds, void of life,

hope will sleep deep

in the dark depths

below, in days

Raising my glass to you, Kim!

That was inspiring and just what I needed to read this morning. {}
I hope you have been well. I actually thought of you today. (I could not attend the 92nd ST Y conference. I hate missing that event. Were you there?)

I missed it too this year, Pamela. Lots of things going on here, like my son and his wife (married last Feb.) expecting a baby next month. Oye! I'm going to be a grandma. Yikes!

Happy to help you get your Monday going. Wishing you a yummy Turkey day!
