Spring Celebration

 When I see the golden glory

As the sun begins to rise

And the splendor of the heavens

In the far-off eastern skies -

When I hear the songbirds singing

As the night turns into day,

With fresh dewdrops for their drinking

From the blossoms when it's May -

When the breeze blows soft and gentle

With the scent of sweet perfume

And the hummingbirds are busy

Feasting fast upon the bloom -

Then, with songs and hymns and praises

To creation's Lord and King,

I, with birds and blooms and breezes,

Celebrate the lovely spring.

~ George R. Kossik

The flowers

appear on the earth;

the time of the Singing

of birds is come.

Song 2:12
