Summer Morning




                                                      Summer Morning


                There is a time of summer morning
                When the city is not quite awake
                The sidewalks still a little chafed
                From the sanitation brushes.
                Night workers have returned home
               Their shades drawn so they might sleep
                Lights go on as other people greet the day.
                The air is warm and breezy
                Bringing smells of coffee and fresh baking
                To the few people on the street.
                The storefronts remain dark
                The soda shops and newsstands are open
                For the morning working crowd.
                I am standing at the bus stop
                Waiting for a friend
                We are going to the beach.
                Until she comes I am alone
                Recording this memory for the page.

Review on Amazon.com

Here is a review of "Jairus' Daughter" from a good friend, Aliceann Carlton !
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jairus' Daughter (Paperback)
Jairus' Daughter is a book that, from beginning to end, reflects a vibrant tapestry of life and culture. I did not read this work to get to the end, but to savor the intricacies and the interweaving of lives as the storyteller, Sarah, comes to reflect upon them through her family members' eyes. While the journey for Sarah is the awakening of belief in Christ and the promise of hope and Christ within her heart, it is equally a portrait of her family's daily life and beliefs. She is able to portray the small matters of daily living that eloquently shape the beliefs and attitudes of Sarah's family members. Jairus' Daughter is also the chalice of a child trying to make sense of her father's long illness and death, experienced throughout the book through her eyes, heart, and as a physician, her intellect. In this sense the book serves as powerful testimony to the emotional and ancestral eternity of life. I thoroughly enjoyed Jairus' Daughter as a very readable and meaningful reflection of the mosaic of family, culture and beliefs that are a part of every person's history.

I highly recommend Jairus' Daughter as a thoroughly enjoyable and insightful book and commend Evelyn Weissman on her ability to weave a family tapestry that enlightens the reader's heart.
