  Today I heard a robin sing
  And my joyous heart took wing.
  Spring has lavishly arrived
  As Mother Earth comes alive. 
  
  Dogwood trees reach for the skies,
  Tulips bloom before my eyes.
  Birds wing to and fro,
  Sing the sweetest songs they know. 
  
  Hills and valleys are revived,
  Buttercups and bluebells thrive,
  Woodland babes fill cozy nooks. 
  
  Little children romp and tease,
  Butterflies glide on the breeze.
  I smell the fragrance of the rose,
  Feel velvet grass between my toes. 
  
  I thank our gracious Lord above
  For His precious gifts of love,
  Expressed in effervescent Spring
  And every vibrant living thing.
