Spring is right around the corner,
I'm sure that must be true;
For March is almost here,
Soon flowers will peek at you.
Don't let the snow steal your joy,
Don't let the cold damper your hope;
Start preparing for the spring,
Don't sit around and mope.
Soon Jonquils will poke out their heads,
Hyacinths and Crocus will bloom;
Buds will appear on tree branches,
As they get ready to groom.
Soon your garden will need your care,
So be ready with all your tools;
Don't be surprised by birds returning,
They must follow nature's rules.
Remember God made us these seasons,
Winter can often test the spirit;
But then the newness of spring appears,
And we can really appreciate it.
I love spring with its blooming flowers,
I find joy in birds and butterflies, too;
For this is a very special season,
It's the season Jesus saved you.
