Renewal

Without a doubt, I am grateful
To experience and to be alive
And to drink in this resplendence 
That allows my spirit to revive.

Oh, how I have patiently waited
To lay down under blue sky,
Watching virgin white clouds
As they lazily meander by.

I am gratified to know that
The days are growing long
As I smell blossoming lilacs,
With their fragrance so strong.

It is the simple things in life
That I cherish so very much,
Like the fresh scents of spring
And the Sun’s warming touch.

What a miraculous thing it is
This wonderful time of rebirth,
For this season affects us all
On this planet, we call earth.
