The New ME
by Laurie Kolp

My window brings me
great comfort...

through the glass
and beyond the
smeared pawprints,
I see hope-
blue skies,
green grass,
blooming flowers,
hungry birds;
promises of spring,
new birth,
new life,
new attitudes,
new goals;
breaking through
the gray, dark days
of winter's wrath-
the new me
I'd like to be...

my window brings me
great comfort.
