The Heralds of Spring

 

A nest and two birds in a tree,

Two birds singing merrily;

There'll soon be a family...

This is the sign of Spring.

 

Flow'rs peeking through snow-dusted ground,

Emerging without slightest sound,

Brightening the landscape around...

This is the sign of Spring.

 

A rainbow aglow in the sky

After a shower from on high,

A gorgeous sight to the eye...

This is the sign of Spring.

 

A branched pussy willow tree

With catkins so silvery,

A most welcome sight to see...

This is the sign of Spring.

 

The peepers a-peeping out yon

In woods at the set of sun,

All heralds of what has come...

Colorful, life-filled Spring.

 

~ Loise Pinkerton Fritz

 

Nevertheless he left not himself

without witness, in tat he did

good, and gave us rain from

heaven, and fruitful seasons,

filling our hearts with food

and gladness.

Acts 14:17
