Spiritual Snippet -- Happy Spring (An Original Poem)

  

Happy Spring (An Original Poem)

The first day of Spring has arrived;

Thank God for the change of season.

Cold converts to sunshine and warmth;

The trees bloom with reason.

To remind us of God’s hand in creation;

A canvass painted with colorful nature;

Once dead, lifeless, dormant and raw;

Now shows signs of resurrection.

Jesus Christ died on the cross;

At the hands of his worst enemy;

But like Spring's sleepy awakening;

Our Lord rises--transforming history.

Spring and Lent merge together;
Two beautiful seasons in one;
Both are life-giving and renewable;
Designed to convert hearts to love.
Love for God and love for man.
Love for nature and love for life.

Happy Springtime!

-J.
