Light-hearted

80 in October,

dark mornings spent in a grand church,

friends over for breakfast,

on-sale yellow flowers.

Mary holding my hand,

a 10 minute sign of peace,

little smiles behind me,

a moment of clarity on my porch.

Slow weekends,

raspberry season, 

vanilla-mint tea,

2 hours of healing.

Lifted off my heart,

burden and pain,

cleaned out by Your hand;

an easy yoke.

-

You keep Your promises.
