A Short Poem

Springtime in Portland
------------------------
Today the sun
Cannot be seen
We run among
The soggy leaves
Wet with rain

And when the day's
Last light is gone
We stop to pray
And ask for peace

We place our ways
In the hands of him
Who founded love
With confident trust
That our new-found love
Is in his care
