To The Thawing Wind

By Robert Frost

Come with rain, O loud Southwester!

Bring the singer, bring the nester;

Give the buried flower a dream;

Make the settled snow-bank stream;

Find the brown beneath the white;

But whate'er you do to-night,

Bathe my window, make it flow,

Melt it as the ice will go;

Melt the glass and leave the sticks

Like a hermit's crucifix;

Burst into my narrow stall;

Swing the picture on the wall;

Run the rattling pages o'er;

Scatter poems on the floor;

Turn the poet out of door.

HE IS RISEN

The angel said to the women, " Do not be

afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus,

who was crucified.

He is not here; HE HAS RISEN, just as He

said."

Matthew 28:5-6

CROWN OF THORNS

" They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe

on Him, and then twisted together a crown of

thorns and set it on His head. . .

They put a staff in His right hand and knelt in

front of Him and mocked Him. "Hail, king

of the Jews!" they said. They spit on Him, and

took the staff and struck Him on the head

again and again. . .

After they had mocked Him, they took the robe

off and put His own clothes on Him. Then they

led Him away to crucify Him."

Matthew 27:28-31

My grandsons and I have been

preparing our hearts for Good Friday

and Easter Sunday.
