After the death of winter’s sleep
Spring heralds forth fresh harvest to reap,
where all before was blank and bare,
new birth appears now everywhere,
part of creation has passed away
fulfilling the role it had to play,
now each succeeding living thing
must learn anew of life within.
perceive in abundance all around,
life-giving action that surrounds
of giving, receiving every day,
each in it’s own inimitable way,
as each one’s life progresses on earth
learning the value of their true worth,
they realize that each is part of the whole,
and life for all becomes their goal,
respecting those of maturing years
who have watered the ground with their joy and tears.
Then looking with love upon the young
who live to the full, each moment as one.
listening; to learn each day anew
from love continually flowing through
all of creation since time began
when God himself created man.
then out of love he entered the heart
of each individual, separate part.
each day his blessing rings faithful and true,
