What joy beholds us
at this time of new birth
What delicate sadness
retreats into memories
a loved one passes
one moves on
one moves in

These are feelings
that I experience
in each and every season.
Never the same
yet the essence is familiar

This season finds my daughter
Heather
her husband
Freddie
their daughter
Harper
moving to a new place

in the Northwest part of our country
Spokane Washington

Their new life begins there
as new life begins
within Heather as well
new fruit of their love
and a new human experience
for Harper

Harper, four years old
is so full of
life and love
her joy is not to be contained
but rather shared
delight follows her
as she spreads her abundant
love and possibility
to all who encounter her

Today I celebrate with
Harper
Heather
and
Freddie
who's mother's maiden name
found a new
destination
bestowed upon their first born
Harper

These are blessings of family
that we all share
New Season
New Life
New Love
New Joy

New Life

New Possibility
