Exceptional His restoring balm: Old Mission Peninsula, Traverse City, MI In God's Healing Orchard by Mrs. KT Poem of the Month contest entry

I’ve called this view home For forty-two years. Its grandeur has thrilled And tempered my tears.   All through the seasons, As vistas unfold, It sings to my soul In scenery bold.   Yet in fair springtime, When near orchard blooms, Is when its beauty Dispels any gloom.   Sweet perfumes emerge One branch at a time, And in their presence, I sense the Divine. Pure beauty enthralls, White clusters of lace, That sway in the breeze As bumblebees grace. Soon, ripened cherries  Will adorn strong limbs That have weathered storms And spring's errant whims. In times such as these, I need bid adieu Fear's hold on man's world, And welcome God's view. Here, in God's orchard, Just the other day, I felt healing peace As I made my way. I know I'll return, As summer days wane; His restoring balm Will beckon again...   Recognized
