Another Year

For every Winter there's a Spring-

Oh, that's the beauty of the thing!

For ev'ry midnight there's a morn,

For ev'ry loss a hope is born,

For ev'ry sultry day the dew,

For ev'ry old year there's a new!


Yes, buds for all the leaves that fall-

That is the beauty of it all.

New dreams for all the dreams that die,

For ev'ry night a dawning sky-

For ev'ry heartache, failure, fear,

Another chance, another year!

-Douglas Malloch

Word Play

Here is me playing with words:
(These are three separate poems)

Love is a motion
full of devotion
and being what it is
gives.

***

Faith is a risk
giving a kiss
to children who love
mystery.

***

God is a king
who gave a ring
to the lady he loves and
married.
