Green and tender promise

Gently,
as by newborn warmth of spring,
the mounds of frozen hope
are thawed by Love.
Chill, sterile smother
of the green and tender promise
melts before God's caring.

Unconfined
upreaching growth—
the resurrected thought—
begins to comprehend
vitality of Life.

In beauty of acceptance,
blooms.

Jean M. Langerman
