We have an unpleasant day again with snow and cold weather. Spring in Alberta changes quickly and springtime’s timely rays will re-appear by Wednesday with warm weather. My response is a little toughening up and accepting what today is.
Life has carved her callouses
upon my tender heart,
my response was toughening
the epidermis part –
so soften me, oh Holy Son,
with springtime’s timely rays,
that roughened edges would not keep
my soul from grasping grace.
With snow and cold weather,it reminds me of the coldness and unreceptive hearts of human beings- I wish and pray that spring (metaphor) penetrates such hearts and minds only to make us more warm and receptive towards individual differences.
That is a lovely sentiment and a beautiful metaphor Swati.
