Winter still refuses to let go.
Memory and last year’s photo
keep hope alive.
Gritty city sidewalks will again be covered
in blossoms falling from the trees
beyond the church yard fence.
Old St. Michael’s Union City dome,
once a guidepost for Newark-bound pilots,
remains a skyline sign of hope.
God lives, and invites us to do the same.
Lent is a joyful season of new possibility.

Seeing the picture of Ol’ St. Michael’s waltzing with Spring was very uplifting, as we are about to get 7 to 10 inches of snow here in Queens from hopefully Winter’s last visit. But as the calendar page turns today, March 21st stirs our hearts with hope for Spring and that new birth we all yearn for.

That’s lovely.
