by Alan Bedworth

Spring is finally bounding in.
The buds on the trees are starting to open.
The blossoms of the cherry trees are
an abundance of hues and colour.

All of nature is beginning a new year.
Birds are creating nests to have their young.
Foxes, badgers, rabbits and hares
are all preparing for new births.

Of course, the days start to lengthen,
giving people some optimism
for what lies ahead.
Dispelling those Winter blues.

Everything that's touched by God,
gets an uplifting feeling
for the coming months.
With guidance from God.
