Spring Fever

Green leafs poking out their heads
to greet the morning sun
Soon colors will dance along the ground

The trees stretch theirs arms as far
as they will go as they
begin to make their summer coat

Children splash in the puddles left behind
with the early morning showers
Spring approaches with grand and glory

Serendipity 2006

I wrote this as I looked outside to see Spring was on her way, April 7, 2006.

Reasons

All for a Reason
Into a mothers arms a baby lies
her soft curls that donned her head
lay upon the pillow
She smiles as if some angel just
whispered a tale
The father's tears break
through one by one
marching across his cheeks
Prayers fill the air
with hope and strength
He does hear you and no prayer
will go unanswered
but understand this whatever
your faith/belief things do happen
for a REASON
It is for a REASON that
this mother does not sleep
It is for a REASON that
this father does weep
It is for a REASON that
friends pulled together
It is for a REASON that
hope and strength have weathered
It is for a REASON that
this sounds absurb
It is for a REASON that
the prayers be heard
