ABC Poem: Spring

3 Replies

Arrival of fluttering and twittering birds

Blue jays, robins and flocks of Canadian geese.

Choir of joyful honks, tweets, and staccato chirps

Descending and floating on a gentle, warm breeze.

Ever minute leaflets and sporadic

Foliage of soft lemon green.

Grass blades sprout and appear;

Hope takes silent wing

Infiltering the warmer air.

Jagged tree limbs gently swish and sway in

Kindred orchestrated choreography.

Long slender branches in dancing display;

Moving, waving rhythmically.

New aromas permeate the wafting wind;

Over the fields and upon the meadows

Purple and white lilac blossoms

Quietly add their sweet-scented seasoning.

Red tulips; also, white, orange, pink and yellow

Softly paint the land in a colorful rainbow.

Tender green clover and dandelions sprout

Underneath the warm rays of a sunbeam.

Vivid blue, the sky illuminates its hue

While ushering in with joyful

Exultation this

Year’s new season of Spring;

Zippered between the start of summer and

Winter’s reluctant and blustery end.

A Perfect Day

A perfect day is

One spent with the Lord

By praying and reading his word.

Seeing him in the glowing sunbeam

And hearing him whisper in the breeze.

Feeling his warmth surround your spirit and soul

As you quietly wander along the road.

Seeing him in the beauty of all creation;

In the forest, the shimmering sea, and the lofty mountains.

It is hearing him in the songbirds’ sweet melodies

And in the rushing currents of the river stream;

When you quietly sit and gladly take a rest

Letting this day heal you with gentle peacefulness.

It is not worrying about the duties of tomorrow

Or regretting the past in deep sorrow.

It is not worrying about those who don’t understand or don’t like you

Because they don’t really know your inner beauty or unique attributes.

Instead it is a day of  thankfully remembering

That the Lord’s love for you is never ending.

It is a day of enjoying many precious moments

Unhurried and allowing time to slow down a bit.

It is not  a day of fear or dread;  nor of stressing

But instead a time of seeing hidden blessings.

Hearing a favorite tune wafting through the air

And suddenly realizing an answered prayer.

The perfect day is one set aside just for you and the Lord;

Relishing in his presence, his love, and the hope he gives forevermore.
