The sounds of spring outside my door

Sweet chirping birds, they sing

What they say so loud and clear

A song of life they bring

Breezes warm and air so fresh

It blows and wakens sleep

Windows open to bring it in

So sweet, I beathe it deep

Buds of life, they open, unwrap

To show their leaves of green

Grass to cut, that smell I like

So soft and lush it seems

Nature renews and so need I

It’s time to start anew

To clean and sort and open up

Refreshed in all I do

New life, new growth

This time of year

It’s clear and easy to see

I’ll close my eyes and see myself

Become what I can be

Thank you Lord for all that’s new

And old and still the same

You give us time and days of change

For this I praise your name
