Happy First Day of Spring!
Spring is my favorite season! I love the warm golden sunshine trickling down upon my face, the sweet smell and taste of fresh fruit, and the manifold beauty of God's glory manifested in thousands of flowers!
I hope that this spring your heart would be melted by the Love of the King and that your spirit would be infused with His life-giving joy!
A Summer Wish
Live all thy sweet life through
Sweet Rose, dew-sprent,
Drop down thine evening dew
To gather it anew
When day is bright:
I fancy thou wast meant
Chiefly to give delight.
Sing in the silent sky,
Glad soaring bird;
Sing out thy notes on high
To sunbeam straying by
Or passing cloud;
Heedless if thou art heard
Sing thy full song aloud.
O that it were with me
As with the flower;
Blooming on its own tree
For butterfly and bee
Its summer morns:
That I might bloom mine hour
A rose in spite of thorns.
O that my work were done
As birds’ that soar
Rejoicing in the sun:
That when my time is run
And daylight too,
I so might rest once more
Cool with refreshing dew.
~ Christina Rossetti
(I know this poem is meant for summer, but it fit so perfectly with how I feel today that I had to share it!)
