A verdant flash 'pon every bough and twig
Greets my expectant heart as I walk 'round
In sunshine bright, this season thus is crowned.
From Winter's death we presently renege.
Avìan symphony now meets my ear
As did the frogs' song all the night before.
And floating on a breeze, I can't ignore,
A fragrant blossom, like a souvenir.
No longer will the cold winds interfere,
I've waited patiently, I'll now explore
The winding paths, before me, now appear
In luscious colors, and Spring can restore
The hope of Man and drive away all fear
Instilling in us all with God's rapport.
