UPON THE VERGE OF SPRING
Our hearts danced and sang
on the day you were born,
so tiny and precious,
a true miracle of birth.
And when the time came
for you to test those new wings,
we knew you could fly
and do so many wonderful things.
We all knew you were ready,
you and us as well
because you were
and so were we.
And we were glad
to step back
and watch you
spread those wings
as you took
your very first flight.
We watched
as you began to fly
and as you then
began to soar,
your confidence growing
with every passing day.
And on this day
on the verge of Spring
I witness a new life,
a new journey begins,
miracles each one
whether big or small
as I'm reminded by
the tiny bird that sings
that there's so much beauty
that I miss within the chaos
that life often becomes.
And I'm reminded
on this day just before
the arrival of Spring.

ReplyDeleteI so love this, Barb. You have done credit to the joy, the pride, the appreciation, the freshness, the courage and the beauty that accompany the birth of the little ones as well as the birth of Mother Nature's other little ones in the plant kingdom with the coming of spring. Beautifully said.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Leeza! Big or small, we are so blessed by them.
DeleteThat is so wonderful. Here in Florida, we don't get spring, we get a somewhat of early fall, but the rest is all summer and I guess what they call Indian summer as well...
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week! :)
