February Dawn Virginia Salter The morning’s come in dewed-up dawn and something fell from the sky twas not the moon twas not the stars yet fell to earth a-fly tiny pellets like Styrofoam seeds lie about the ground tiny and white like beads for a sprite in spherical shape abound the glorious sun through the sky has spun a reason for birds to sing their lilting play burns winter’s fray as to the eaves they cling buds on the trees in gentle breeze secretly weave new filament stretch on each arm ring spring’s alarm to reach the firmament bird song’s arise lilts through the skies giving Lord high praise as for me, so too, tis what I must do yes, I must likewise raise © February 18, 2001 |

I love it. Though February is sometimes quite dreary, spring is always there at the end of it, just as God is always there through our hardest times. Well done Virginia! |

It MUST go to my library. I will print this for my morning read. It's worth reading many times over. Hugs, Deb |

Thanks, everyone, so very much. I'm so happy you read and enjoyed and took the time to let me know.Poems like these bless me so much as I don't feel I write them, it's more like they write me and therefore I really want to share them. You have let me know they made it beyond my 'pen.' |
