Awaiting Springtime

“For every person who has ever lived, there will come, at last, a spring he will never see…… Glory then in the springs that are yours…..Pam Brown



It’s that time of year when the air starts to 
Get warmer and daylight lingers just a little 
Longer each day. 

It’s that time of year when I wake up to hear 
Birds chirping in the woods behind the house - 
Singing sweetly in the breeze of morning’s dew 
It rains a lot these days, but I know it’s only 
Getting the ground ready for the re-emergence 
Of the Brillance of colors of Maryland’s springtime. 

Springtime in my heart. My world lightens 
From the heaviness of winter’s burdens to 
An energetic dancing in my soul.  I splash 
In the puddles as I once again take to the 
Lake - my sanctuary.  I breathe just a little 
Better, somehow deeper. I sing a little Sweeter. 

It’s that time of year when I relish the wind 
Brushing against my cheeks as I push towards 
That two-mile mark. My steps somehow seem lighter

Once again I’m thankful to see another 
Springtime. Oh how I love the springtime - 
The beginning of things. Old Things have passed away
my way seems brighter. The joy of life and nature 
The love of family and friends. 

Each day is a new adventure, a renewing 
Of the mind. It’s in the sweetness of the morning’s 
Song that I find blessings upon blessings for life!  

It’s that time of year when all is right in my  
World as I lift up my eyes to the heavens from which 
Comes my help!!!
