Thoughts of Spring

Lester Heritage
Mickleton MM

It's Spring again.
The crocuses are in bloom again.
The daffodils of purest gold,
Their blossoms are beginning to unfold.
The hyacinths of pink and blue
Are again starting to come into view.
Soon the lilacs will put on their show
With their shades of purple we all know.
Violets of white and blue will soon be found,
Springing up through the fertile ground;
And the dandelions we must not forget,
We have not them mentioned yet.
They open their yellow blossoms each dawn,
And remind us of little suns all through our lawn.
The loss of Springtime we don't have to fear,
For God in his wisdom will repeat it each year.
