Let the Light Shine

A festive time of many colors -
A Baltimore neighborhood annually bathed in light.
Blessings of the Christmas season to you,
and a coming year of peace, too.

Winter’s White Blanket

Winter snow snuck into Chicago during the night.
City snow stays beautiful for a short time,
like a blanket of white on the evergreens.
But the streets must be cleared that life might go on,
life thought of in its narrow form of “business as usual.”
Maybe snow is sent to us to slow us down,
just for awhile.
