Envision every hillside
Covered in tranquility’s green
Beauty forever remains
Painting another scene
One road leads to paradise
Illuminated, trusted hope
Freedom’s quiet voice remains
Focusing journey’s scope
Darkness often threatens peace
Conquered by heart’s determined beat
Positive outlook remains
Walking each lighted street
Sunrise offers sweetest taste
Brightened with kindness, full of grace
Expression of joy remains
Sharing love to embrace

As always your words are uplifting and full of hope. Thank you💕

This is a beautiful poem. The last stanza will stay with me because Sunrise does offer the sweetest taste. And yes, it is Brightened with kindness, full of grace! It was -1 here when I got up, but it was brightened with kindness, and with no wind, the sun shown through, melted the snow and we had a heat wave: it’s now +14!!

Jan, I appreciate your reflections, especially with the last stanza. I hope Montana’s shot of winter doesn’t stick around too long. My four-year old skier in Bozeman might appreciate a bit more snow at Big Sky.
