From Frances (4th entry)

So making me weep is a healing
Moving my sadness away
And leaving me clear and fresh and free
To relish each brand new day

To thrill and delight and be happy!
To dance and sing and have fun!
To gaze on the beauty created by God
And captured for me in a pond
Of colour and magic and blessings galore
Of intensity, pleasure and pain –
And to gasp anew every morning
At a shock that will never grow cold
Of seeing before me such brilliance
As ‘Lillies in Spring’ can afford.

Thank you Mary Duffy, you are an instrument of highest creation
