Spring, in her snow bonnet, "March-ed" right in the door;
Wind blowing, sun smiling, just as she had done before.
Leaving Winter behind in its snowy tracks,
Spring came, as she promised, "I will be back."
With Spring, came Forsythia, early to rise,
Lovely yellow hands waved at all who passed by.
Daffodils, also celebrated Spring's arrival,
Nodded their pretty heads, for beauty having few rivals.
Earthworms popped up their heads to see what going on.
New-comer Robins quickly snatched them up and sang a song.
Tender little green shoots, swelled out on limbs,
Gave promise of new life, not just a whim.
Spring is God's way of saying, "Don't give up, hold on.
There is resurrection life in knowing Christ alone.
He died just like Winter but didn't stay in the grave.
Just as Spring came with promise, new life He gave."
