Springtime Joy

Cold winter sheds his coat and waves goodbye. Welcome his passing; rejoice and sing the song of springtime awakening. Renewed spirit soars as we view blossoming of trees, as every plant rebounds springing out of cold, wintry death. Joy bursts wide with the greening up of earth. New life rises, enlightening man as beauty blooms anew with bliss. Celebrate resurrection. Our crucified Lord rose from death restoring the hope that man too will thrive past death's curse.

Ah, I can really feel in me the line 'joy bursts wide with the greening up of earth', and I love 'as beauty blooms anew with bliss'. This is a lovely poem. :)
