The mist of her rain turns sadness into happiness,                  
It turns winter snow into summer bliss.
The mist of her rain supplies nutrients to every cell                .........................
and gives the lost ingredients to future success.                            
..................................................SEAN H. YOUNG

MEDITATION      
Moments of peace have more meaning,                 
Times of stillness give one a gleaming,
                          
A glimpse of fullness;
             
Blue green and gold thoughts gently streaming,
                
Without any effort for you to hold.
              
More and more learning about the other side
                        
Of yourself and of being,
                  
                                         A gentle flowing of all your senses
                
                                         Which are sensing your foreverness,

                                        For a little while.

Editor's note: I spotted an old fashioned flavor in this
poem that made me think the author was quite up there
in years.
Amazing how it touched our readers the same way.

Howard Deaton has been a care giver for the last 3
years to his loving wife who is 84 and almost totally paralyzed from a stroke. He has little relief from her
care. She fell out of her wheelchair and broke both
legs recently.
Howard asks only that you pray for his patience
and her recovery.
