tender is the spring


Song of Solomon 6:11-12 One day I went strolling through the orchard,
                                            looking for signs of spring,
                                           Looking for buds about to burst into flower,
                                            anticipating readiness, ripeness.
                                            Before I knew it my heart was raptured,
                                              carried away by lofty thoughts!
 
Cold air and wind fight to remain, as winter's grip is broken,
And nature turns a season page, warm messages are spoken,
The sun awakens earlier, expectantly to see...
The pastel coat of newborn life on flower and bush and tree.
 
The animals find partners now as milder times are here,
Reminded that they have a role...
From two:  new life appears!
 
As earthbound images of God our hope in Him renews,
for all around we see the proof...
that.... tender though the spring appears
there is no greater truth
 
For life will conquer winter's death,
God's love...New life...breaks through!
 
 
 
 
spring blessings,
Rob Smith
