A New Beginning

A New Beginning

Spring, sweet spring - on heels of snow
Come flowers wild and those we sow
The promise of a bright new day
Of birds a' nesting, kids at play

Crisp clean air at break of dawn
Farmers seed 'til day has gone
Joy at viewing all we see
Across the glen - beyond the lea

A haunting cry of mourning dove
That lifts to ply the streams above
God's earth on loan to all who'll share
With all his creatures placed by pair

We who serve as keepers here
Have much to do - it would appear
To right the wrongs that we have done
Alas too soon the course is run
