Anaphora
Sing to the first warm day
The first blue sky
The first afternoon on the porch
Sing to healing after loss
Finding beauty where
you only felt absence
Sing to put words together
in such a way that
someone will smile
Sing to love in age
to many years of
winning and losing
Sing to sharing tears and
learning strength
from each other
Sing to open the heart
To share the bounty
Welcome the stranger
Sing to life
Sing today
