Springtime Splendor

I see the awesome splendor of a misty April day,
As the sun peaks through the clouds, and green leaves unfold along the way.

Dandelions spread their golden hue across the countryside...
And restless breezes blow, as a robin sings with pride.

I thank God for these treasured gifts that help lift life's heavy heart...
For a butterfly that hovers low, over a rhubarb plant, tender and tart.

I thank Him for the gentle rain, for white clouds or the dark...
For frisky gray squirrels playing in our town's small, fragrant park.

I thank Him for the sturdy trees, for graceful lilac blooms...
Dancing in a gusty breeze, wafting high it's sweet perfume.

"Everything has a purpose, that our Lord has made...
It all works for our good, be it sunshine or shade.

Spring has it's own surprises, it may not always wear a smiling face...
Yet it's beauty will always amaze me, it's never commonplace!

Just to feel the warmth of springtime, after winter's freezing days...
Will always spark a smile within, to Him I lift my song of praise!

Green is the color of life, that's what I've been told...
The sun and rain bring back the green, as I watch Mother Nature's love unfold.
