Spring Showers

SPRING SHOWERS S oon the rains fall to replenish mother earth P lanting beauty for all it's glorious worth R enewing life and splendor so very divine I n step with Nature and God's holy shrine N ew life bursting ever magnificently forth G iving relief from cold winds from the North S tarting billions of new lives serving us all H eaping green all over this very precious ball O nly this can replenish fruits of mother Earth W hen the soil needs sweet liquid to gift birth E ach drop serves to maintain Nature's firm grasp R oaring down with each promise so dearly in clasp S hifting fertile soil like a very finely honed rasp Robert J.
