Spring Forward

Post by Barb Edler

I received this gorgeous hand-colored paper one day from my son with a loving note written on the backside. It’s one of my dearest treasures.

    What a lovely poem and image! Those words give a time stamp of presence and thought, of love, of living! Sometimes those Haiku poems say more than an epic could ever convey.
