Hopeful Landscapes Poem by Maria C. Pires Costa

Gracious days blessed
By warm, angelic rays
Appeasing our soul and heart
Leaving some grief apart...

They shine quietly, indeed
Through a silent atmosphere
Sustaining life we revere
While God's renewing it every year!

Fields outside cover'd with dew
In very cold, wintry degrees
Contemplate the sky above
As if praying for humans, birds, trees.

From a Sign truly high
Lands from across the world
Apologize, embrace one another
Causing us a cheerful sigh!
