Awakened by the sweet song of the robin <br />I hasten to get dressed <br />Rushing to make morning coffee <br />So I can sit outside on the deck <br />The cool mist refreshes my soul <br />Smiling as the birth of spring unfolds <br />Birds singing <br />Flowers blooming <br />Beautiful colors fill the old dull faded canvas of yesterday <br />As if an artist began to paint his masterpiece. <br />Death becomes a memory <br />New life begins <br />Invigorating <br />God's gift to enjoy <br />In a beautiful way<br /><br />Dimitri Jagodinski<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spring-the-awakening/
