Spring!

A Poem By Joy Aletheia Stevens

For Easter

~

Raindrops falling on windows,

Watering the thirsty ground,

Always sinking down to the lows,

Flowing and making musical sounds.

~

Smells of wet and clean and fresh,

And smells of morning dew,

Waking flowers into a morning stretch,

As the sunshine looks down on you.

~

Hello Spring! Welcome you be!

I welcome your warmth and growth!

Greetings to all the colors I see,

The fruits of seeds, long sown.

~

Burst out with joy, unfurl in laughter!

Teach me, again, of hope and life!

For it was in Spring, came a resurrected Savior,

Reigning in Victory over all strife!

~

Yes, His Victory was in Spring,

As He put to flight the Winter!

In my heart His Victory Rang!

His Love planted firmly, Forever!

~

So now, flowers bloom!

Trees, stretch out leaves in rejoicing!

Worship the One, Returning Soon!

Let praises ring over the morning!

~

So now, Son shine down on me!

Warm every cold place of my heart!

I will walk and rejoice, for I am free!

As I watch another spring start!

~ Joy Aletheia Stevens
