a hymn for springtime

springtime
grand abundance
of colors growing bright
especially all shades of green
looking

walking
amazement grows
like the buds and flowers
appreciation for new life
laughing

smiling
early bird song
awake at five o'clock
the first guardian of the morning
sleeps not

eager to rise
daylight is colored with rainbows
bringing a new day of seasonal renewing
the sun's warmth and light, the magnificence of every thing blooming
I'm alive now

ready
walking outdoors
joyous discovery
I too have my place in the change
birthday

springtime
is when I came
to this splendid earth then
born on the day the seasons turn
warmer

happy
I too renew
each year, freshness returns
to my heart through praiseworthy songs
of birds
