oh, Spring glad you are here...
    I have been waiting all Winter for you
      glorious will be this month of awakening ...
        April showers will bring me flowers
    some soft and delightful
like cherry blossoms ... 

       ~ and sweet pansies in every single bright hue
and daffodils and tulips and lilies
       and snowdrops with petals that hang like charms ~ 

       will wear dreamy delightful sundresses
     and sandals on my feet to go walking ...
oh, yes, I will go for strolls
to roadside farmer's markets or a garden nursery 
       with a "spring" in my step ...

~ in the forest wildflowers are blooming everywhere
       buttercups, daisies, lupine and meadow rue
and soon, wild strawberries and raspberries ~ 

oh yes, Spring is the month of blossoming
       when the Lord paints our world bright with love
          with new beginnings and hope for the world
           Spring is a month to be thankful ...
         even if you feel despair ... give it to the Lord
       let him carry the load for you
start your attitude right now to "new" ...

       ~ but I have jobs to do in my own garden ...
seeds to plant and ideas to grow
       window boxes and flower pots to fill ~

... so, Spring blessings to all !

Wow! Congrats! Thanks for sharing your talent, exemplified once again in this muse of yours, making me behold and experience God-blessed APRIL in this "Springless" country of ours. (I live in the Tropics.) God bless you.
