Welcome to March one and all.
I hope it is a wonderful month for you.
As always my thanks go to Alex and team
for a much loved and successful group.
This month I write a poem I wrote years ago
With the prospect of spring on the horizon
and also perhaps the words will
help me get through the grieving process
of a much loved son.
THE RE-AWAKENING:
Nature is re-awakening after winter's gloom and doom.
The flowers in the garden are beginning to bloom.
Squirrels are jumping from tree to tree.
Baby lambs are in the fields for all to see.
Lovers walk hand in hand in a world of their own.
Also baby birds from their nest have finally flown.
The scattered April showers that will come our way.
Will be making way for the sunshine in May.
This is a wonderful time of the year.
When skies at night are wonderfully clear.
I wouldn't miss this time of the year for anything.
The time of Mother Nature's re-awakening.

Beautiful poem. And I can't wait for this time of year either. It really uplifts my spirits. Hope it does the same for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Natalie, have a good day.

I love your poem. So beautiful. Although I love spring, and please bring it on, animals and plants together try to maim my property. :) So I'm shielding up for the battle.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. I can see your point of view.
DeleteYvonne.
You need that re-awakening. Spring always comes, no matter how hard the winter.
ReplyDeleteThis winter Alex was the worst ever. Thanks for coming by.
DeleteYvonne.
What a beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra, wrote this before my current problems arose.

Spring is a lovely time. I always look forward to blooming flowers and gardening.
ReplyDeleteAfter the winter I always look forward to the spring more so this year. Hope all is well with you Chrys.
DeleteYvonne.
Let the blossoming flowers uplift you.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt they will Diane.
DeleteHave a lovely month.
Yvonne.
We spend winter in Florida and avoid all the snow in Michigan. I truly believe folks who fight through the bad weather appreciate the spring more than we who waited it out. But, I still love Michigan spring. Gorgeous. Hoping it will warm up soon up North.

A lovely poem about the new season thanks for sharing it with us. I have certainly noticed the lighter evenings which is very welcome indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you Suzanne, I'm looking forward to lighter mornings as I like to go for an early morning walk to set me up for the day.
DeleteEnjoy this month.
Yvonne.
You have such a beautiful way with words, Yvonne. This one makes me so look forward to spring. Have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beverly for your kind words. Wish my kids had the same thought....lol.

Thanks for your kind words Betty, pleased you like it.

Your poem is the perfect greeting for spring. March arrived like a lion so far, but then this weekend the temps begin to soar. That will make the flowers (and weeds) pop. Ray is sneezing already.
ReplyDeleteTake care
Hope it does get warmer for you Joanne, here it's going to rain and high winds for a few days.
DeleteYvonne.
Your poem is lovely, but I don't think the Polar Vortex will ever leave Michigan. Spring is on hold here.
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane for you kind words. Hope spring remains at Michigan.

Hi, Yvonne! Nature's reawakening is a spiritual time and fills living things with hope. I loved your poem. It's a long time since I have seen baby lambs playing in fields ~ Thank you for reminding me of that lovely harbinger of spring. Take care!
