Ordinary?

Every month we still receive the newsletter from the Bereaved Families of Ontario. Some very amazing people run the southwest chapter.

Anyway, this poem was on the back page this month, written by Sasha Wagner, and titled "Ordinary?". I liked it.

This is no ordinary spring at all
It dances on with unbecoming weather;
Now more like winter than December was,
And then again as soft as early summer ....

This is no ordinary spring at all
It meets your heart with unexpected dangers;
now with the loneliest of memories,
And then again with unforgotten laughter ....

This is no ordinary spring at all
This is like life itself, a changing season;
Accept the wintertime of grief, and then
Reach for the hope of summer and healing.
