Going Up
Welcome Spring, it’s rising time
dormant nature begins to grow
naked trees dress with leaves
snaking vines commence their climb
tender plants burst from melting snow
what once thought dead is now reborn
like brown, dry grass now needs be shorn
If in miracles one believes
that Jesus arose from the dead
then a simple thing it should be
to rise from the couch, get out of bed
exhausting one’s time
In the service of others
lifting downtrodden sisters and brothers
dormant nature begins to grow

If in miracles one believes

then a simple thing it should be
to rise from the couch, get out of bed
exhausting one’s time
In the service of others
lifting downtrodden sisters and brothers

What a lovely thought this is!
No leaves here yet, it'll be a while - but the sun is shining, and that's something! Happy Easter!

Thank you, dearest K! I knew you would appreciate this one. All the leaves never completely fall here in Texas.
