Today is the first day of Spring
Listening to the songbirds sing
Robin, wren, blackbird, thrush give everything
I feel their joy as they sing
My spirit rises above my trembling.
Today is the first day of Spring
The world spins into a new season
I know God cares for all His furred and feathered friends
They live fully dependent upon His hand
I pray that will never end.
Today is the first day of Spring
All the crocus, daffodils and bluebells bud
Flowering, their perfume overpowering
Empowering my senses
Debilitating my defenses.
Today is the first day of Spring
Nature is building up for greater things
The days are stretching longer
The nights are stunted and shorter
A happiness in all that there is.
Today is the first day of Spring
God's touch is on and in everything
Spring is glowing!
I sit and write in my praise of knowing
That my faith and hope is budding and growing.
