Spring Love 1

Spring Love 

The majesty of pine trees heavy laden with snow 
Sparkle in dawn's dappled light with a glistening glow.
Monumental mountaintops survey valleys down below.
Dwelling in the snow's melt enchanted rippling rivers flow.
Spring's early footsteps lead to where gracious gardens grow.
Soon daffodils and tulips will display a springtime show.

He loved the majesty of pine trees showered in snow.
We watched dawn's dappled light with a glistening glow,
And skied from mountaintop to the valley down below.
We marveled as snow melted into rippling river's flow,
And walked amidst the garden as spring coaxed it to grow.
We married while bright tulips put on a springtime show!

Paula Goldsmith Date: 2/10/2022 11:53:00 AM Congratulations on your win. A "Beautiful" story/write. Love your line, "Soon daffodils and tulips will display a springtime show." So true and it is coming soon. Can't wait for the show. Have blessed day....................... Login to Reply Connie Marcum Wong Date: 2/11/2022 3:28:00 PM I wish tulips grew here in Hawaii. Those sweet little cut tulips die here quickly even with A/C. They won’t grow in the tropics at all. But I got to visit them in Amsterdam one year and was blown away by their scent and beauty. Enjoy the coming spring. Thank you very much Paula. Blessings xxoo

John Fleming Date: 1/23/2018 5:22:00 AM Very cleverly executed and beautifully phrased, Connie.

My very warmest regards, Connie. :) john Login to Reply
