Evergreen
oils on paper, 8 x 10", 2008
C. Keenan
Sometimes it is hard to watch the News
Filled with crime and floods and military coups.
But our stories and carols remind us each year
That darkness will not swallow the Light that is here.
In the frozen winter a promise is seen -
The warmth of hope is the evergreen.
