ANOTHER SPRING, by                    
First Line: The day arrives when suddenly you catch
Last Line: While life renews itself -- there is no death!
Subject(s): Spring


The day arrives when suddenly you catch
That first faint whiff of rising sap in spring;
Your winter lethargy has taken wing
At sight of some entrancing crocus patch;
Your mind flies open; time has touched the latch,
A daffodil has set your heart a-swing;
Excitement thrills each eager growing thing;
A robin thinks of eggs she wants to hatch.

Your soul stands wondering in hushed surprise
Which stirs your very roots beneath the veil
Of tingling joy; you draw a long deep breath;
Although you know an autumn fades and dies,
Your faith in resurrection cannot fail --
While life renews itself -- there is no death!
