Spring

When all the garden was turning green, I knew that spring was near. This time, the most flowers I’ve ever seen Are bringing butterflies here. This is my favourite season of the year. And, yes, perhaps my thoughts will turn to love, As birds are nesting in the trees; I spot a nest with eggs above Me, as I enjoy the sunshine and gentle breeze, And hear the humming of the bees. For Francine’s Spring Quintain contest, written 11th April

A newly fallen rain can clean the cobwebs from the brain. And give the eye's a new way to see. All the things that God meant to be.
