Listen to poem:

Springtime

Springtime 

It's here!
We've never needed it more..
Throw open your hearts
Unlock every door 

Step over that threshold!
Sun shining so brightly..
Fill you lungs with that freshness
From our pads locked so tightly 

Today is the day!
In remission we reel;
Releasing all tension
Or anguish we feel 

We remember the words 
Of the ancient heart song
That our place in this world
Is complete, Holy, strong 

So our vigour renewed
Our compass re-set
We step out in faith
That our hopes will be met 

Rejoice in the sunlight!
Join birds as they sing.
Renewed and reshaped now,
In our step there's a Spring 

The caged birds are free!
All released like that dove
And soon we'll embrace 
All the ones that we love 

And my final word on this
As I look back and ponder
May I never trade now
For the prospect of yonder.
