Spring is Alive !
The river-water dances in the morning
sun
on a beautiful April day;
Birds are already feeding their young -
spring is having its way.
Buds are showing on shrubs and trees;
plants coming up lush and green.
Crocus' bloom in regal dress -
a welcome sight to be seen.
God gives us seasons for His good
reasons
and all are quite unique;
Each tells a story of wondrous glory
and gives us answers we seek.
Spring is rebirth everywhere;
spiritually - time to learn.
We see the wonders He performs
and to understand, we yearn.
Watching Nature is watching God
and knowing that life carries on;
From winter's death to spring's rebirth -
nothing is ever gone.
Spring - my favourite time of year -
God's gift of hope and light.
Gentle whispers awaken my soul
and everything feels right.
