March winds and April rains~~The signs of God's power
of re-birth as trees bring forth tiny new buds..and spring
flowers push their heads skyward..bringing smiles to
winter weary faces...

Skateboards and bicycles appear now..
to assure the coming of summers glowing mornings..
lazy afternoons and starry nights.

Easter bunnies in store windows..
Bits and pieces of Valentine displays in corners
boxed up for another time....Old glory waving here and there..
Another celebration of our precious freedoms..as fireworks
blaze above.. to light the faces of enchanted babes.

Puppy love abounds..as the young boy holds her hand.. and strolls
the riverfront.. A wrinkled brow with hazy eyes observes
from a park bench..remembering another time..another place..
another young girl. Infinite this wondrous cycle. Peaceful
the wrinkled brow and hazy eyes..that can reflect with joy..
what has been given to all of us.
