The Birth of Spring

If you want a copy of this lovely print you can get it HERE

Linking with The Sunday Muse for Muse # 46

I like to think a flower opens itself to outgrow its plantedness. That it yearns to be carried away. ~Author Unknown



Winter in all her harsh glory is still pregnant with the spring
And holds a beautiful hope in each and every leafless thing
Our eyes and hearts grow weary to see the new one’s face
To feel her warmer breeze and see her flowering grace
Her beauty is always welcomed and brings so much joy
A birth of a season as wonderful as a new baby girl or boy
Soon she will arrive and then winter will soon depart
And the beauty we have longed for will fill our eyes and hearts.

  2. I love the reminder we get with the first line. That regardless of how cold (and slightly infuriating) winter might get, spring is always lurking underneath... just waiting to bloom.

  6. I like the simple rhymes in this. I am so hungry for flowers right now. I have some daffodils I picked out of my yard and I can't stop sniffing them. My husband told me I was going to pull all the sniff out of them. I told him then I would look at them. Soon! Soon!
