The Seasons: A Poem

Posted by on
Sunrise over Amazing Grasses Family Farm The mad Artist wields His brush, Painted colors rush, To life and give flush, Before the quiet autumn hush. The life seems to pour, As colors fall to the floor, To be seen no more, Outside the dark, grey door. Brightness from below, Sun upon the snow, High, cold clouds blow, Flakes and ice appear to grow. The man melts with little seen, Underneath, pale, grey green, Hides life in dark unseen, Waits for warmth and to careen. Buds on branches show, Patience starts to grow, Trickles, streams and veins flow, Bringing fruits of melted snow. Sprung to life it springs, Bees, birds, sound rings, Lush green flings, Its gift bounty brings. Green growth gives one last rush, Underneath the Painter's brush. The mad Artist wields His brush, before the quiet autumn hush. More poetry is available from James M. Hahn in  The Last Dragon and Other Poems  available now.

It's 9:30 AM on Monday morning. I check on Catherine last night at 1:00 AM and she was showing good signs. Nicole and I went this morning (thinking no phone calls in the middle of the night was a positive sign) and Catherine is holding steady. She is improving by teeny tiny bits but we'll take what we can.

The nurses here are wonderful. We have had many who have worked with Catherine find us later in the cafe or lobby and tell us they checked on her even though they weren't working on her team. One even said she called twice last night to check on her! What love for life abounds in this place!

God Bless, Jim

What a fighter little Catherine is. You are all in our constant prayers. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you need anything. We're not far away. I've heard wonderful things about the Ronald McDonald house.

God Bless you and your family.
