the freshness of air

the simplicity in being outdoors

balancing the contrasts of warmth and cold

the light of day lasting an hour longer

star filled skies

teasing delights of sunshine

a wave of unexpected sadness

comfort in knowing she was and is at peace

haunting reminders of lost connections that run deep both near and far

Dr. Seuss Once Said:

perseverance

[pur-suh-veer-uh ns]

noun

steady, persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state

especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles or discouragement

theology

continuance in a state of grace to the end

fall

is a season of the past

as winter has came

and taken her place

all have fallen

except this one

it has hung

intertwined

between the branches

unwilling to let go

John Quincy once said:

"Patience and Perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish"
