God's Spring Garden

**

  I awoke this morning to birds singing.
  The dead silence that's been heard all winter.
  Now the harmonious sounds of life, as birds sing,  
  Sing about the new beginnings of life.

  God has sent His life's messengers to make known.
  It's time to wake up my beloved earth.
  The sun was different as its rays were brighter.
  The warmth caresses every part of the ground.

  Warmth has taken the place of the bitter, freezing rain.
  The dead coldness now has a chance of life.
  Sprinkles of green now emerge from the ground.
  As God ushers in a fresh season of life known as spring.

  I heard the sounds of birds singing.
  They are announcing the birth of their young.
  This morning I walked down a long and winding path.
  The garden path, that leads to many old friends.

  Daffodils greeted me as I continued down the trail.
  The trumpets, which are bright yellow and white, symbolize "rebirth."
  The little rays of sunshine bob their heads in greetings. 
  They smile and tip their heads, "Spring Welcomes You."

  I look across the garden at a sea of smiling faces.
  Their velvet petals change colors in the sunlight.
  The pansies are like children in spring.
  As their angelic faces glow with sweet innocence.

  God looked down on His spring garden and smiled.
  The scent of lilacs fills the warm air.
  The colors of pinks, purples, and whites are filled with life,
  Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds make for a spectacular sight.

  I look at the cherry blooms and magnolias' showy colors.
  Pinks and whites combined into a spray: "A queen's delight."
  The bittersweet aroma and lemony scent now sear in my mind.
  A spicy scent is released as the warm sun and gentle breeze combine.

  A bright red cardinal sings, "Cheer, cheer, cheer; an angel is near."
  The caretakers of God's spring garden rejoice as they toil with delight.
  If you listen closely, you will hear them sing as the wind blows.
  They sing in pure delight as God touches each flower with His hand.

  As I neared the end of the garden path, tulips stood tall, waving in the wind.
  A sea of colors, reds, yellows, and purples are happy to see me.
  I smile in delight as each one has something to say about the garden.
  I turned to leave; a sign reads, "Heaven on Earth" ~ God

Hymn to "The God of Spring and Hope." Great offering, sis Debra. I recall the first crocuses before daffodils, followed by Forsythia sunkets. ThanX in Jesus. Anil

Thanks, Anil. I enjoyed your comment. Where I live, it's daffodils. They're starting to push their way through the mulch right now. We just had 8 inches of snow, but that didn't hurt them. Have a good night. Prayers and blessings Debra

As I read your poem, I suddenly wondered why alarm clocks make such dreadful noises instead of some bird trills which are just as effective? Enjoyed! Aloha!
