Lilac Opens Way To Summer

water rushing in the brook
livening up the forest

dainty dew drops on verdant grass
lady bugs fly

daffodil leads the flower parade
sharing brilliant yellow

robins and cardinals
sing today's praise songs

brightly colored tulips
showing off their Dutchiness

lilac's unique fragrance
opening up the gateway to summer
