Spring

Today is the first day of spring.
The warmth of the spring sun slowly melts the snow left by last week’s storm. Yet, in the corner where the snow has already melted the first flowers of spring push their way above the ground.

My prayer for today is this.
May I lift my life towards that spring sun and allow it to melt the frozen parts within me.
And, in some sheltered corner of who I am
May that which has been hidden and yet hoped for
And for too long buried
Push its way towards the surface of my life.
