Winter Be Gone

The green buds burst forth on the stem Open gently breathe, as life returns again Pressing forth, drinking the new days light The sun returns from its winter flight The leaves open and spread their charms As a lover opens wide her arms Taking the inquisitive honey bee To pollinate and set fruit on the tree. To watch it blossom, bloom and grow Give thanks to God and let him know Gratitude for his creation grand The breath of life, the guiding hand His words are written a guide to all Help us live, lift us when we fall From the start of his creation true Give thanks to him that’s where it's due. From Genesis through to Revelation His scriptures a guide to his creation The gospels tell of his loving son Whose gave his life for everyone. Spring returns to our hemisphere Let’s give thanks to him that we are here. As the days lengthen we all say ‘Come on’ Welcome to spring and winter be gone. © 20/01/2103~GG~ .Contest Entry:

Mandy a painting of spring well done in words. It is sooo cold here in Michigan. It's 14 today. We need winter to begone, but must be patient for spring. Good luck in the contest. Sounds like a win to me. Warm Warm Smiles, Connie
