Reason A. Poteet Poet Acrostic

Spring Is Coming Soon

Smelling so fresh, sounding her melody,
Parading herself, floral gallery, 
Releasing the strength stored in seeds,
I’m always amazed; Spring’s toil seems carefree.
Nature does her work, so effortlessly;
God's regnant hand knows what Spring needs.

It’s still cold to me, I’m wearing a coat
Spring’s birds and buds have just reason to gloat.

Chilled to the bone, I don’t understand how
Orchards are blossoming brilliantly now.
Might Spring have a secret she heeds -
Instinctive skills only God can endow?
Never assuming or taking a bow,
Granted, Spring doesn’t mind a few weeds.

Stuck between winter’s cold and summer’s heat
Optimally, Spring’s labors will entreat
Our own personal efforts of rebirth, 
New thoughts to transform our own wintry dearth.
