Spring Bling! Poem by Denis Martindale

When Spring arrives and Nature wakes and birds share harmonies,
Each waterfall from Winter breaks, cascading from the freeze...
And new buds rise from deathly shade so stems stand tall once more,
The daffodils are then displayed for children to adore...
With darkness fading, light holds fast, as warmth replaces chills,
Such that our heating's off at last and we've much lower bills...
And yet, it's here and now, we see, that hope lives in our hearts,
Partaking of God's majesty as Spring's new season starts...
Each garden plant is well aware of seasons in the sun
And promptly shows its flowers there, as if God loved each one...
And gardens blossom with each day, as April comes and goes
To lead us boldly into May, towards the Summer Shows...
So give God thanks and praise His Name, He makes our gardens bloom!
Let's celebrate like life's a game, so smiles may then resume!
Like waterfalls, let hearts rejoice, resplendent, good as gold!
For surely, that's the wisest choice for both the young and old...
How good it is, a welcome rest, this spectacle called Spring,
With roses showing that we're blessed by all of Nature's bling!
Her jewellery, her finery, her living cavalcade,
Her utmost joy, her ecstasy, her own Easter Parade!
