What If Spring?

  What If Spring ?

If Spring were a garment,

would we wear it like a cloak ?,

Wrap it around our shoulders,

tie it snugly at the throat ?

Or if it were a blanket,

a downey quilt of flowers,

Would we spread it on our lawn,

would we gaze at it for hours?

What if Spring is just a memory?,

one we've tucked away,

Of morning sun and birdsong,

and daffodills that sway...

I think that Spring is all of these,

the memories, the morning breeze,

The hope within our beating breast,

of the newborn earth, that is just at rest.

Spring is always with us,

in our hearts and mind,

It soothes the worried brow of earth,

and reminds us that it's kind.............Jen

Morning Jen,
Love the poem. I've been gone too long and have many pages to read and enjoy. Hope your day is filled with goodies to cherish, as mine is. I've been over to Billy's and watched his video. Proud Moment! I'm so happy for him and Rosie! How is your hubbie doing these days? Good I hope and pray
Love You,
Cby
