hope in spring

Sun shining, flowers blooming in an 

Explosion of spring coming toward 

Us and we hardly know what to do 

First with all the new and surprising 

Things giving fresh perspective and 

Hope for good to prevail as the 

Buds pop on the trees into new leaves

Tulips radiate gladness in the shade of

Evergreens and scattered amidst the 

Chaos of the spreading ground cover 

That somehow withstands the trampling

Feet of tiny humans and animals 

As we all lean toward summer while

Breathing in the glorious spring at hand
