SPRING
by
Earth Angel

~*~

It is the time of our rebirth,
Life springs forth from Mother Earth.

The April showers soon give way,
To sunny days in the month of May.

Flowers burst forth into fragrant blooms,
June's the month of brides and grooms.

The world's alive with sights and sounds,
And children romp o'er verdant grounds.

Roses, lilacs of every hue,
Gifts from God for us to view.

A warm Spring breeze does gently blow,
The lush green trees sway to and fro.

The scent of flowers fills the air,
Their fragrant beauty's everywhere.

All we see is fresh and new,
In Spring the world begins anew!

Liz ~

I love all the seasons--but especially Spring! As the snow starts to melt, my blood begins to sweeten and flow like sap through a maple tree!

~ May Spring blow its sweet breath your way and freshen your aura!

Warm hugs,

Even when the world is at odds,
there is much to be thankful for
and it's good to be alive.

Nice writing Linda~

Blues Serenade ~

Yes, it is quite disheartening how the world is so "at odds", but like you, I find that there is so much to be thankful for and I am also glad to be alive.

I am anxiously waiting for spring to come. We have been having spring like weather here for the past few days. Right now, it goes from hot to cold. I'll be glad when it does stay warm.

Linda,

Lovely spring poem. I like:

"Gifts from God for us to view"

and...

"All we see is fresh and new"


As per your reply to Liz, from one Maple to another...this just flows with hope and a sweet sense of renewal.

Grins and hugs, Pat

Gifts from God for us to view.

Ahhh, Spring, my favorite season of the year and what glorious and fragrant gifts God gives to us.

I enjoyed reading this poem this morning as it reaffirms that Spring will soon be here.  Luvs, Marti

(smiles) Sorry I'm late getting to read your gorgeous spring smiles, sweet friend, it is my favorite time of year and some of the things I love most about it is how baby birds and other of Mother Natures creations are born and the lilac and cherry blossom scents and all other colors and flowers are sooooooo pretty! (kiss on cheek) This is so mesmerizing, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
