The Easter Lily

The Easter lily welcomes spring,
it tells me the long cold winter was a fling.
Their closed pods start to open up,
showing their beautiful faces-giving me a look closeup.
Show your long petals as your face,
it makes me want to put you in a pretty vase.
Your green leaves,
are easy to weave.
The Easter lily welcomes Easter and the Maker,
a time for a new birth in man and creator.
Each year I know when the lily has arrived,
that spring has now revived.
