Spring's Promise

Rise my children, wake!
I bring Father's breath
Raise your arms and take
His life into your death!

Rise my children, grow!
Show your glory to all
Cold sister northerly goes
And now I bring the thaw!

Rise my children, bloom!
Paint brightly your faces
Rise from mother's womb
And sing Father's praises!

Rise my children, rejoice!
Father's love is eternal
Raise to Him your voices
For your life is paternal!

Rise my children, live!
Declare your presence here
Drink in all Father gives
And I'll return again next year!

Hi Tim, A beauty to start my day with! I see the double application, to nature and to the person in this wonderful verse. As always, your poetry spreads itself many ways and gives the reader a sense of accomplishment finding the depth when reading.
