The Warmth of Spring
Winter ending, cold turns warm
Brown to green, and gray to blue
Seasons moving, out then in
Time comes and follows old to new.
From ice to flow, from bud to leaf,
To rain from snow, I see
Changing everywhere yet brief,
Right here, to stay, to be.
I feel your warmth my bones, so deep
Your sun, my friend, my home.
I reach and sense the rays they seep
My heart and smile are one.
Droplets so gentle they moisten and fall
New growth and life is nigh.
My soul they soften, myself they heal
From wisps of cloud on high.
Dear Lord, your warmth I seek to feel
Refresh me, be my spring.
Your hands they hold me safe and free
To your love, my life I bring.
