As each budding leaf begins to swell <br />Winter's chill bows and bids farewell <br />Royal crocus colors and daffodil yellow <br />Stand tall as reviving juices begin to flow <br /> <br />At this moment gratefulness awakens <br />to this most wonderful of occasions... <br />Spring begins with a breath-taking start <br />Inspiring growth and cheering my heart <br /> <br />Renewing sight to glorious signs <br />Gentle sounds of spring redefine <br />A morning bird masterfully sings <br />As caressing raindrops softly cling <br /> <br />Life is restored to a land once considered <br />to be dead … resurrected … uninjured <br />A miraculous spirit dwells in each revived cell <br />Renewing my soul … confirming that all is well <br /> <br />4/27/2011<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-marvelous-april-morning/
