Fact or Fiction?: "Spring Fever" Is a Real Phenomenon - Scientific American

"See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land." Song of Songs 2:11-12 __________________________ All of nature is coming back to life, baby birds squeak and flowers are blooming; we have no more worries of winters knife, the tulips and violets are bloomin'. With gentle breezes the Lord sends his breath, he smiles and his bright sun reaches our earth; trees in hues where once they were bare as death, a mother rabbit has just given birth. Bees buzzing, robins, hummers' and blue skies, the Lords has painted this earth with his brush; slowly, dripping paint on the butterflies, next he paints the flowers vibrant and lush. Open the windows and go for a walk; wander a path and find a pretty rock ! __________________ February 24, 2021 Poetry/Sonnet/The Lord's Breath Copyright Protected, ID 02-1332-001-24 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, Breath of Spring sponsor, Regina McIntosh, Judged 03/15/2021 Fifth Place

Congratulations on your win. What a beautiful write and picture. Thanks for adding the Song of Songs. I love your line, "the Lords has painted this earth with his brush;" He Has. I have said this many times when I see mountains or fields of flowers. Have a blessed day................
