The overcoat of Winter
Is melting away
As Spring's renewal begins
On a March day.

The Daffodils are coming
Into joyful bloom
To cast a sense of wonder 
Away from all the gloom.

Little shoots are sprouting
In the hedgerows
Watching and waiting as
Everything suddenly grows.

All the birds are busy
In among the leaves
As nesting time is here
In the budding trees.

To feel a renewal of Spring
At this very hour
Is to feel God's Presence 
In every blooming flower.
