A Springtime Bloom

A springtime bloom with golden hue
  Swaying 'neath clouds with fluffy plume 
 Symbols of hope and all things new
  A springtime bloom

 They dare to rise in winter's gloom
  As their trumpets come into view
 One season fades, as one's abloom

 Petals glisten with morning dew
  Weaving beauty on springtime's loom
 They always appear right on cue
  A springtime bloom

          a b a R ;  b a  b ;  a b a R ; where R is the refrain.

Congratulations my friend - I have been off soup for about two weeks as we sold our home and had a hectic, busy and emotional time packing and unpacking - the house we sold, saw three generations pass through it and it was a very hard decision we made but we decided to downsize - my husband and I were rattling around in our previous house. I loved your poem Joseph - it has a happy ring to it - 'Symbols of hope and all things new, A Springtime bloom! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
