March 16, 2006

My Mother sent this poem via email:

SUNRISE
In the stillness of the moment
From the darkness comes the dawn,
Yesterday what seemed important
Just as suddenly is gone.

Now the sun lights up the heavens
All around a golden hue.
Once again fresh hope is given
As a gift we can renew.

Try to linger in the present,
Sense the beauty of the day,
Appreciation brings contentment,
Understanding shows the way.
By Lenaire Grigsby
