Spring time joys

When winter's grip has loosened,
On the earth's cold bare ground,
And the melted snow has lended,
Its water to rain a fresh new sound.

A deep breath you take,
In the smell of life anew,
You walk around the lake,
The water melted you knew.

Green things begin to grow,
The robins return once more,
You smell the flowers that you know,
And you look for whats in store.

A morning dove sings,
The smell of cut grass the wind brings,
This beauty seems to be made for kings,
But of God the creatures sing!

The days grow longer in light
And the nights shorter in dark,
And the crickets chirp with delight,
And on a branch does rest a lark.

These are spring time joys!
For once a year it comes,
Its fun for girls and boys,
This beauty is what the world becomes!
