Resurrection Time

When time springs forward, and light prolongs the day When insects like bees, mosquitoes, and wasps, gallop into Spring, armed with weapons to annoy and sting When birds fly North, and bears awake to hunt When the chilly winds of Winter grow quiet, And the Spring Season shouts for joy When darkness fades for fear of the light When hidden shadows are clearly exposed When roaring thunder and frightful lightning Give way for the entry of clear blue skies When war and conflict succumb to calm and peace When dastardly death unequivocally bows to life, And cries of "Crucify him!" are replaced with the more subdued sounds of, "My Lord and My God".
