Spreading Happiness

Spring is here!
Planting time is too.
Replenish and revive
Embracing life anew,
And relish being alive.
Dive in with delight; plant seeds of your own.
In this way, joy can be sown.
Nourish those seeds with your special style.
Grow flowered gladness with your sunny smile.

Hate can have no place in your garden space.
A haven of sweetness you must grow.
Pleasing peonies, precious primrose and
Perky pansies 
In your garden you will show
Nodding in a warming April breeze.
Everybody then who 
Sees the product of your glad pursuit
Shall also feel the need to follow suit!
