Spring in many ways is my favorite time

the Lisbon lemon has been in bloom already

warmth has already brought the roses

to bring their buds out in a promise

that they will keep until Autumn

she is preparing the border garden

dividing the perennials, installing new annuals

i never fail to see her dedication
the robins will search tilled soil for worms

it is in Spring i am reminded

her care is for us all

it will carry us thru the Winter

and into the next Spring

after a pleasant deserving Winters Nap

she will resume her loving care

when the ice and mud 

have ceased their argument 

she will return to prepare us for another year
i will never tire of the analogy
she is not our guardian angel
she is the goddess who loves us
she is the purest unconditional love
it is why in her heart
i sit at the feet of God
