Children Playing Beside a Stream by Dorothea Sharp, circa 1930
My pen does not write in flowery verse, no pink cherry blossoms, no dew kissed earth; but the sun on my shoulders is warm, and the wind has become a mirth-filled breeze bringing fragrance like a winter receding. The river once raging and flooding the fields is now confined to its course by the passing of time; soon in its shallows the children will frolic, and laughter shall echo the length of the valley.

such an uplifting and down to earth poem about spring...the image is the perfect match....had not seen this painting; when I first glanced at it, I thought it was a Monet. I love it, but not as much as your poem :-)
