SPRING TO LIFE: By Clara Barnes Costner

Warm days forecast, as winter gives way to spring

Nesting birds await hatchlings, as they sing

We see all around us, blooming pear trees

 Cherry trees in bloom, then rustling green leaves

As sunlight warms the earth, sleeping bulbs awake

Unable to hold them, through the ground they break

Spring showers will come, to quench the thirsty ground

Releasing sleeping wonders, that winter has kept bound

Daffodils greet us, trumpeting rebirthed, rejuvenation

Tulips standing tall, ready to handle most situations

Knowing God tends the flowers, He hasn't failed us yet

We that are his children, have no need to fret

If you don't know Christ the Savior, it’s not too late

Ask him to come into your heart, for you He waits

“Therefore take no thought saying, what shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or wherewithal shall we be clothed? But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.” St. Matthew verses 31 and 33 KJV
