Insignificant

Ah!  Spring!  ‘Tis announced everywhere! 
Grass turns green – birds grace the air 
And at our feet, the ground becomes rife 
With infant green sprigs – the beginning of Life 

Upon a tree, tiny buds are there made 
And in coming months will provide shade 
To all that may find occasion to be 
Frolicking there … under that tree. 

Flowers in bloom, their colors explode 
Inviting insects to come and freeload. 
Sunshine, combined with spring rain, 
Funds the eternal growing campaign 

Spring’s the time when we can all see 
Natures’ renewing of what Life can be 
When all is compared to Natures’ Plan 
We become insignificant, man.

Yes ... I see that you champion those same things in many of your writings. I'll be reading more of your submissions on this Memorial Day ... and I thank you for your kind words. Jack C.
