Awaiting

Spring blew open winter's door
Snatched the snowy blanket from his bed
Released the rivers from their icy cells

Danced her way through trees
as she whistled for the birds
to call them from the south
"Tis futile to resist," she laughed
and calmly knelt to whisper
to the likes of bluebell
and spring beauty
coaxing them awake
Aroused by her embrace
the peepers in the marsh
welcomed her with fervent songs

She skipped across my lawn
leaving kaboodles of yellow dandys
standing at attention
.....but I don't care
Spring is finally here!


 

 

This year I so yearned for spring to arrive! It reminds me there are other things awaiting. "For the whole creation eagerly waits with anticipation for the sons of God to be revealed."
Romans 8:19  

These also wait in hope:
