A Chapter Closes

A chapter closes
dark clouds give way
light shines into darkness
mourning will not stay...

I can see the morning
stars shining through
a place unknown 
before my birth foretold...

I am thakful for the rains
the thunderstorms and hails
they provided the water
so new plants will not fail...

New shoots hurry quickly
ready to capture the sun
to leap into the unexpected,
Thank God! Shalom.
