Come Quickly!

Earth’s sweetest midwife, to budding new bloom
Guardian of God’s pure and delicate womb
Caretaker, nurturer, mother of life
Uncover winter to autumn’s dear wife

Spring, the protector of long harbored dreams
Melodies float in your gurgling streams
Soft is your cradle to nestling and bear
Warm is your breath to the otter and hare

Maestro to May’s sweetest avian hymns
Creeping your leaves onto impatient limbs
Sculptor of petals, embellish the hills!
Splash palette yellow on daffodil frills!

Youth’s master match maker, breaker of hearts
Source of the cravings from which life departs
Giver of love and of light headed bliss
Spring, please come quickly and do all of this

I came as quickly as I could come,
I saw 'Liz Santos', got to get me some!
She rhyming about those buds of spring,
Isn't she just the sweetest thing?

Bulbs, buds, those birds and bees,
Her food for thought ~ blossoming trees.
She can write standing up, or sitting down,
Now I hear she's got new CD's in town!

psst ~ Need an agent?

LovelyLizzyLady~
The new breath of Spring rings beautifully through your versing~
Lovely ... but, of course~

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

Elizabeth,
An excellent read from start to finish. "Flo"
must be your middle name. As always, take care.
