There's Always A Springtime

       

After the winter comes the spring

to show us again that in everything

There's always renewal

divinely planned, flawlessly perfect,

the work of God's hand.

And just like the seasons

that come and go

when the flowers of spring

lay buried in snow,

God sends to the heart

in its winter of sadness

a springtime awakening

of new hope and gladness,

And loved ones who sleep

in a season of death

will, too, be awakened by 

God's life-giving breath

~Helen Steiner Rice

I received the nicest little card yesterday with this verse.  It was too lovely not to share.
