KEEPERS OF THE SUN, by DOROTHY P. ALBAUGH First Line: In spite of winter's voiceless dark Last Line: Whose hearts have learned to hold the sun. | ||||||||
In spite of winter's voiceless dark, Devoid of fragrance and soft skies, Of petaled rain and ardent lark, Nothing is lost. If we but close Our eyes They are still there -- the song, the rose. Remembered music does not cease. From memory's flower no petals fall To mar the permanence of peace. The war with time and change is won By all Whose hearts have learned to hold the sun. | Other Poems of Interest...PRAYER FOR A BOY WITH A KITE by DOROTHY P.
