HEAVENLY JOY

HEAVENLY JOY As Spring returns joyfully for all, A life-giving energy returns, “ To all creatures great and small, The Lord God Made them all.” The prettiest trees with blossoms Are fruit trees, “He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell, How great is the Almighty, Who has made all things well.” Some trees crave for warmth, To say goodbye to bitter days, And welcome golden days of sun Which have begun From time immeasurable. “The cold winds in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them every one.” Fruit trees are prissy, Radiant princesses Who bloom and burst, Their seeds dispersed By creatures of every kind, Becoming blossoms of Vivacious pinks, crimson delights, Delectable orange, virgin white, Breath taking lilacs and purples, And Lemon spirited yellow. Their fertile blossoms pollinated By both birds and bees, Which every moment do they seize, To turn these trees into a heavenly sight, Under our African sun so bright, Each tree surrounds It’s fruit with emerald, green leaves, Protecting them from harm and thieves, Watered by the heavens, “The Lord God made them all.” For humankind to be enthralled.
