Pause for Prayer: FRIDAY

 The last day of January:
    glory, praise to you, O Lord!

Though February and March still stand
    twixt me and April and Easter,
the very thought of this month's end
    lifts my spirits and quickens my hope
that spring is on the way
    when earth will soften to welcome jonquils,
    when trees will bud 
        with promise of leaves and shade
    and the warmth of gentler days
        will brush my cheeks..
 
Lord of all the seasons:
    search that corner in my soul
       where dreams are kept,
    that pocket in my heart
       where seeds of hope are stored
           for just this time of year,     
       when days are frosted gray
          and there's still a ways to go
             before I walk on grass again...

Oh, and for the record, Lord:
    I acknowledge winter's beauty,
        all its find and splendid gifts
    - but my heart's still set on what's to come
        once winter bids adieu...
 
Amen.
