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.
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.
I love paperwhites in winter. Beautiful poem, beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteYou deserve an A on that assignment! I love what you wrote. And I'm glad you're allowing yourself grace...no need to rush things. Sending a hug...
