Evening falls like gentle rain
upon the weary day.
The colors fade, then flash once more
before they pass away.

A woman is a tree of life;
the heavens know her grace.
In her is found an essence that

when all is well with every girl and boy?

life has a rhythm all its own
it bends and dips and flows
it moves through channels
swirls in eddies
goes and stops and goes

our roots run
together
trunk to trunk
we rise up
bark on bark
we grow
Neglect Not the Gift That Is in Thee…

The gift is given. Will we make a space
within the cluttered circles of our lives?
As mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and wives,
will we lay hold or run an endless race?

“Remove this cup from me,” He dared to ask.
His humble prayer, “Thy will, not mine, be done,”
allowed no respite from the fearsome task.
