Poetry by Jo Anne Moser Gibbons

      Nicholas Erwin CC

Healing, please!

                Everything that is done in the world
                    is done with hope.  –Martin Luther

Your heart—unbroken once again
Your spirit—strong beyond your knowing

Heal your hurt, your emptiness
              breathe in greening trees
              sink into lingering embraces
              trust invisible to-be’s

Anoint yourself with Hope--
then thank her every day with 
all your healthy heart
