"As the spring sun rises I might rise too / Finding myself in a forgiving clime"
Redeeming the Time
My hair has grown beyond the collars of Those autumn winter jackets I so love But this has now come just in time for spring When jackets are only worn at evening Or at morning but I am asleep then And I wear my jackets no matter when
Sweet spring come breathe on me and let me live As those who will leave a mark on their art To as I have been given freely give Enough to change the world or just my heart
I have no money for a haircut now Nor food nor dental care nor anything But stumble starving as handouts allow As one more than ready to see the spring
As the spring sun rises I might rise too Finding myself in a forgiving clime And maybe we all could just start anew Redeeming ourselves redeeming the time
Hey, this is beautiful. I am anxious for spring. Right now though, the March wind is breathing on me with too great a fury. I am routing April, showers and all with soft sweet smelling breezes fueled the the smell of daffodils.
God Bless,
Lew

oh how I can feel this one as I too await the coming spring. The snow is melting away the snowman my girls and I made and I watch it as I watch them and wonder how sad I will be when they both have to go but joyous as they will return again soon...
