Spring(:


"Spring Tease"
by Deborah Ann Belka

I thought I saw the sun peeking,
through the dark clouds today.
And in between the snow flakes,
I prayed Spring was on its way.

For, I am tired of all the chilly days,
and the long cold frigid nights.
Oh, how I wish Spring would come,
and bring its warm and friendly sights.

Oh, to look out at my flower garden,
and see my beautiful climbing rose.
Just the very thought of its perfume,
tickles my frozen little nose.

This prayerful hope for Spring,
comes like a breath of fresh air.
Making me feel all warm and toasty,
as this winter has really been a bear.

I know that this taste of Spring,
is just a little tease.
And soon the Lord will bring to me,
a gentle warming breeze.

But, for now I'll just have to wait,
for nature's way and law.
And I'll trust that in the Creator's timing . . .
my feet will begin to thaw!


    I really enjoyed reading this poem because I myself have a deep longing for spring! I really do not like cold weather. I love the warm, sunny weather that comes out and shines on the world. I love spring because it is a new start. New weather changes, new growth, the earth is just changing. In this poem, the author states exactly how I feel at this very moment! I am ready for spring so much that I tend to rush it. One example is wearing shorts in 55 degree weather:) haha I know that God made seasons for a reason, and in His timing...Spring will arrive! Many people can probably agree with this poem. April is the middle line between cold and warm weather. Everyone is itching for the nice weather. Just like the poem states. All I can do is, "Trust that in the Creator's timing...my feet will begin to thaw!
