Leesburg Chapter
March 2010
Hello Leesburg Chapter,
I hope the spring finds you well and gives you hope. This is a time of year for new beginnings as the cold turns to warmth and new life appears. We continue to seek help for our chapter and especially need a newsletter editor.
God Bless you with hope!
The Hope of Spring
The cold of winter grief is in my heart but there is the hope of the warmth of spring.
The frozen ice of winter grief is beneath my feet but there is the hope of the softness of spring.
The darkness of winter grief surrounds me since you’ve been gone but there is the hope of the light of spring.
The winter winds of grief are wild and bitter and they cause upheaval in my heavy heart, but there is the calmness and sweetness of the hope of spring.
The dead, barren landscape of winter grief describes how empty I feel without you but there is the hope of the new life and beauty of spring.
The cold frozen, dark, windy, barren winter of my heart gives way to the warmth, softness, lightness, calmness and new life of spring.
The God of all has transformed the winter grief of my heart into the hope of eternal spring with Him.
-Bev Elero, TCF Leesburg
Spring Waiting
Winter’s end is almost here.
Crocus struggle in the snow.
Sunlight has a softer glow.
Is the winter long this year?
Spring waits, watching for a cue...
not to rush your grief away,
but to be there, when you say.
Spring is waiting, friend, for you
~Sascha Wagner
In March
The year moves on.
Between the weeks and days
are spaces filled
with more than only time:
those minutes, moments
when your life stands still
and aches in memory…
And part of you
needs to endure the dark,
because it means
to have that love again.
And part of you
prays for forgetfulness,
because your mind
may break, remembering.
Between the weeks and days
are spaces filled with more than only time.
-Sascha Wagner
