As Winter Flees Giving Spring a Begrudging Nod

As Winter Flees Giving Spring A Begrudging Nod As winter flees giving Spring a begrudging nod So the farmer waits to turn over life giving sod Mother Nature, bows to Heavenly hand of God Summer too, waits to embrace racing feet unshod Young lads dancing forth with live bait and fishing pole With promise of joy and food from fav fishing hole. As life in enchanting mysterious ways Sallies ever onward into those flowing days So shall winter return to blanket earth with cold We should give thanks we came from God's Heavenly mold. Robert J. Lindley, 8-29-2022 Rhyme Note: 1 When the light has been gifted and the heart wakes to see its power. Joy enters and falls like a blessed Spring shower. Note: 2 My first in a while. Ablessing was gifted me this day- and that gift birthed this new creation, God works miracles and sees every fallen sparrow.

Thank you my friend. We sometimes forget that Nature sets its beauty before us. That if we open eyes to see, much of the darkness vanishes. A look up at Heaven works miracles for those seeking the true light . God bless..

Thank you my friend. So true is the reality that Nature gives us such beauty in its wonders, yet can also show how savage are its rages in bad weather. We must always look up to Heaven to see the greatest beauty of all- God's light and love. I pray that God blesses abundantly both you and your beloved ones., my friend.
