Christopher Hansard:[where sunlight falls upon winter's shadow]

where sunlight falls upon winter’s shadow

there life sings a triumphant song

of eternity and rejoices

in the seasons

for although Spring may come but once a year

it is always in your heart

and although Summer may blaze bright

it’s heat is always in your bones,

and as the chill of Autumn’s winds

may blow the leaves out of sight

know that Autumn’s wisdom is one of natural change

and that all things change as they must

and Winter, is the resting point

where all the seasons are recharged

and life is made anew in the silence in the heart

of snow fall and darkened days

for where sunlight falls

so do our prayers

for every season is a prayer

and as such a form of life

sacred and part of all
