Winter Beauty

Through all the dreary winter days
There`s beauty to be found,
In the wind that whistles through the trees,
And the snow upon the ground.

There`s beauty in the hailstones
And the fog that blinds our view,
In thunder storms and lightning flash
That we have all been through.

There`s beauty in the falling rain
And the frost that makes us shiver,
For all these things make us aware
Of the presence of a giver.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
