Notes About The Poem

Picture of me and the cat I had eight years ago. Behind me you can see my backyard tree as it had started to bloom in early spring. I love to see my trees this way!!No automatic alt text available.

Spring Is Coming Soon

Sun-drenched days and showers are coming. Flowers sprout,
Pretty petals blooming, and pollywogs in ponds shall appear.
Rabbits in green fields will be scampering about.
Ice and snow will melt; our hearts will fill with cheer.
Newborn creatures, birds in nests; everywhere we’ll see
Growth and earth’s rejuvenation. Winter’s chill will flee!

Incredible is the season. Hear the robin sing!
Soon, so very soon, we’ll be seeing spring.

Crisp, clean and cool are the water and the air.
Opalescent are the rainbows as they gleam above.
Mountains changing colors; valleys oh so fair,
Inspiring us, who seeing them, feel our Father’s love.
Never-failing, spring will come as sure as sky is blue.
Giving us such gratitude as life begins anew.

Sparkling like the morning dew, comes this sweetest time
Of the year from March to June, all of it sublime.
On my trees today purple blossoms did appear.
Not just SOON is spring coming. Spring right now is HERE!

It is great when the blossoms open. The color is striking and the feeling is wonderful. We live in what sometimes looks and feels like paradise, and we are so lucky to be able to enjoy it. Keep up the wonderful writes!
