Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme, as the days grow shorter and colder, is the approach
of winter.
Today’s poem is about hope and the blessedness of life even
in winter.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Take from winter just a bit of hope
In reckoning the blessedness of life,
Nor wonder why the wind, in bitter flight,
Around our reasoned corners wailing goes.
