Encouraging Spring
Saw our first robin
But no blossoms were in sight
Encouraging spring.
I want it all now
The flowers, the birds, and spring
Praying for patience!.

Calendar Says It’s Spring
The calendar says it’s spring,
But the weather says it ain’t.
Hoar frost greeted my morning.
“Smile,” it said.
I replied, “I cain’t!”
Then off I went to Lenten Breakfast
While I marveled at the frost.
I skidded on the icy drive.
“Relax,” I thought.
Then wondered, “At what cost?”
I made it to the breakfast
With the help of neighborly folks.
The place was bright and cheerful.
“Let’s eat,” they invited.
I laughed at friendly jokes.
My next stop was at TOPS*
Where I weigh in to keep off pounds.
My KOPS** buddies inspire me.
“Did you eat all your breakfast?”
“Nope, I left one of the rounds!”
My reward was to wear the hat
That signified I’d lost the most weight.
What a treat – worth the feat!
“Keep up the good work!” they encouraged.
I headed home – feeling great!
The calendar says it’s spring,
But the weather says, “Not yet!”
White stuff still covers the ground.
“Smile,” it said.
Sun sparkled. I sang, “You bet!”
Are you enjoying this first day of spring?

Buried
Buried under snow
There are dormant daffodil
Waiting to emerge
.
The thermometer
Finally rose a little
Will spring really come?
.
Be patient, tulips
Be patient, sweet daffodil
Soon the snow will melt
You think?
Bee a Joy-Bringer!
Bee a Joy-Bringer!
Why not spread lots of sweetness?
Plenty to be found!

There are so many reasons
To be joyful every day.
Open my eyes, Lord,
To the smiles in my way.
I can carry all the troubles,
See the gloom and the doom,
Or I can listen to the birds
As their song fills this room.

I can marvel at snow
Or complain of the drifts.
Open my heart, Lord,
To be ready for shifts.
Shift gears to the joy
Each fresh, new day brings.
Help me bee a joy-bringer;
Turn winter hearts into springs!
