Song of Spring

Song of Spring

Rejuvenate! It’s time of spring,
creation’s sweet rebirth.
And now we need not feel the cling
of gloom upon this earth.

It’s time for thankfulness. Rejoice;
in flowered meadows dance!
Praise God and lift a happy voice
with fellow celebrants.

Refresh yourself. Dip hands and toes
into a rushing rill.
Feel sun on skin as water flows,
and let your soul refill!

A time of reverence too. Recall
how Jesus paid the price
and gave his life to save us all,
the greatest sacrifice.

Reflect!  Behold the blossomed trees.
Inhale the fragrance of
the lilac’s sprigs; hear drone of bees,
and ponder Christ’s great love.

A time to start anew. Revive!
Along each mountain slope,
the earth bathed green has come alive
with beauty, life, and hope.

I love your song of spring, of all things renewed with fresh hope and promise. A beautiful write...I missed this one but tweaked mine and entered Brians Poulter's measure...It is also a song, but I didn't steal your idea, honest :) :)....Love Margaret

Dear Andrea, spring can never come soon enough for me, so in that sense your poem is timely. ? Love, Amy.

Dear Andrea, Song of Spring is really beautiful, even if it’s a little premature. I guess you can’t wait for spring to arrive. I kept your message with instructions in a folder so that we can follow them next time. You said that I should enter His Violin in a contest. Is it too late now that I have posted it? I think you have seen all three poems before at one time. I sent lots of them to look over before the anthology came out. But thanks for the kind words. Love, Amy.
