Sticky Note to God ~07.08.19~

Thankful for Spring ~

 Lord thank You,
for Springtime
for the harmony
heard on its chime.

For the renewal,
of the early rain
for the healing
of winter’s pain.

Lord thank You,
for Spring’s flight
for the retreat
of its early light.

For the warmth,
it lazily brings
for the melody
heard on its wings.

Lord thank You,
for Spring’s gift
for giving my face . . .
a needed Son lift!

the time of the singing of birds
is come, and the voice of the
turtle is heard in our land;

On the Eaves of Winter ~

On the eaves of winter,
hangs depression and gloom
where my thoughts drip of Spring
and the sights of its bloom.

I can hardly wait,
for these cold days to be gone
so I can rise with the robin
and listen to Springtime’s song.

On the dawn of Spring,
are the shadows of new life
putting an end to the bitter chill
and the ache of winter’s strife.

Spring is just around the corner
but I’m not sure if I can wait
and I pray every day to God . . .
“Oh, please don’t let Spring be late!”

Song of Solomon 2: 11-12
King James Version

“For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and
gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the
time of the singing of birds is come, and the
voice of the turtle is heard in our land;”

Spring Tease ~

I thought I saw the sun peeking,
through the dark clouds today
and in between the snowflakes
I prayed Spring was on its way.

For, I’m tired of the chilly days,
and the long cold, frigid nights
oh, how I wish Spring would come
with its sunny, friendly sights.

I look at my barren garden,
longing to see my climbing rose
just the thought of its perfume
tickles my frozen little nose.

This prayerful hope for Spring,
comes like a breath of fresh air
making me feel all giddy . . .
as this winter has been a bear.

I know this taste of Spring,
is just a little tease . . .
but soon the Lord will bring
a gentle warming breeze.

But, for now I’ll just have to wait,
for nature’s way and law . . .
and trust in the Creator’s timing
that my feet will begin to thaw!

there is a season
