Life Poems
January Issue 1

may day

no sound of rain
only cheering and
chanting
all around
the great spire
illuminated
light pink
the color
of petals
crushed
in the
dust

Susan, your Life Poems is so refreshing. I love their positive pro-Christian and pro-life message, so much needed in our morally challenged society.
