Spring - Time To Give Thanks
Green the colour of hope
Tiny green buds start to emerge on dead looking branches
Winter has not chilled the roots to desolation
Life is anew just wait and see…… as spring launches
Itself into our hearts, we wait for the colours filling the isolation
That cold damp weather has brought.
Yellows of daffodils and narcissus waving their heads in wonder
As though looking around for the tulips and snowdrops
A mass of colour here on the ground….our eyes skyward wander
smiling at the shoots on the blossom trees, showing their crops
Along with all the mighty trees of old
Birds chirping in the watery sunlight
Much as to say ….we are here too
The wonder of Spring unwinds our love of life
Time to start again …. time to renew
Time to spring forth, time to give thanks.
