White Blossoms

Resplendent showy white blossoms Will soon embrace the backyard rose, Bring pure blooms to the pom-pom bush And towering Bradford pear tree. Warm reminders of winter's snow Resplendent showy white blossoms Petals drift leisurely to earth, Soft kisses on the fertile ground. First to burst open buds of spring The sacred dogwood tree, they say, Resplendent showy white blossoms Remind us of the Saviour's cross. Come the gentle rains of April, Making way for the leaves and fruit. Until next winter's past, no more Resplendent showy spring blossoms. Written April 1, 2021 FIRST PLACE WINNER Brian Strand Contest
