i am the...

i am the...
i am the
hope of winter,
the ugly brown burst forth with life,
the perfumed headiness of spring,
the hope for tomorrow.

i adore these paper whites sprouting in my kitchen.
i am in misty mawn's on-line class
and each week she has a writing assignment 
(this week it is 'i am the...')
along with drawing and painting.
i am so behind
and basically haven't even begun to draw or paint,
(just putting together art lessons for the kiddos
and coping at present)
but that's ok...
i have grace and 
i will begin when i am ready.
there is always hope.

  6. oh, pam! your mom!! oh, no. :( i'm so very sorry to hear of her passing, poet and artist that she was. and as i well know, lover of cats she never met.
