Summer’s light in December
Our lives receive fresh hope in December, like sunshine warms the soul in summer
December’s cold, and wintery scene brightened now by the birth of her, reviving our hearts
The smile and bright brown eyes, who could’ve dreamed of her three decades later
She carries our hearts in sensitive ways and ignites hope
Her friendship and thankfulness are rivers in desert places
The youngest of four with paved roads before her
Challenging, comparing, expectations, for the youngest,
and at times feeling invisible,
Yet so many ways she is daring, dauntless and stands out,
Carved her own path to blessing and feat
Like a young artist stands out, her hand a masterstroke in the moment
inspiring to nieces and nephews, and cherished the same
A present, from Aunt Emily for her nephews and nieces,
Un regalo di zia Emily per i suoi nipoti e nipoti
Moments and memories etched in glass over the course of years, strengthened in the glass master's kiln
Siblings' hearts she blends and renews together
Humility and perspective that lessens all anxious care
She lifts and mends friends and shattered pieces
Emily is a bright day and warmth in December.
Summery breath, seen in the cold of winter
Life-giver and future graces that will last,
Joy for changing seasons,
“joy greets the soul with the smile of morning” *
and a lifetime in view
Summer’s light in December,
Glimpse poetry by Joe Holuta
* Psalm 30:5 VOICE
About this Poem: Summer’s light in December is a poem about Emily Ann our daughter who was born on a wintry December day. Emily is fresh air when you need it most, a gift to us, her siblings, nieces and nephews. She believes, cares, and holds on with you to ignite hope when in a desert place. Emily is a life-giver and a human with loving qualities to which we all aspire. - Joe Holuta
