The Seasons: A Poem

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.

Catherine


Catherine will have surgery to correct her eyes next Friday, March 6. This will involve cutting *wince* the muscles that pull her eyes inward and reattching them so they don't pull as much. I was assured by the doctor that this is a very simple surgery, there are no cuts made on her face, and she should feel little to no discomfort afterwards. Still...we would appreciate prayers!
Thank you and God Bless!

I will also ask the Poor Clare Colettine Nuns in Rockford, Illinois and in Minooka, Illinois to pray. The 6th is the actual feast of St. Colette.

Prayers for a successful surgery.

I had similar surgery when I was four so if it went fine over forty years ago; it must be highly improved now.

Our 17 yo had eye muscle surgery when he was two. It was an easy surgery, corrected the problem, and he did fine. It's never easy, however, to watch your baby leave for surgery. I will keep you and Nicole in my prayers as well as Catherine. Having it at Children's?

I've been meaning to tell you too that I worked with several babies that had this procedure, and the problem was always fixed perfectly! We'll be praying for her.
Love,
her godmother
