And then I saw a hummingbird Darting - Diving - Hovering Interested in a camellia bud Brilliant pink in green covering Just beyond, geraniums stand Red bursts of bloom Seem to hold hands Next to a purple lily plume Spring winds toss the bushes Trees still bare sway Greenish buds on their branches Promise many a warm day How I love my garden Such life and hope is there Sitting amongst God's creation Joy drenches my garden chair Copyright 2021 Cheryl S.

Azaleas full bloom
Geraniums wind-dance
Bees soar and zoom
Small trees seem to prance
Spring winds so gusty
Send kites to flight
Squeaking gate, old, rusty
Bangs the fence in a fight
Sun warms my face
Waltzing pines put on a show
Two jays in a race
Cross sky-blue chasing a crow
Flowers everywhere
A colorful rainbow
Trees green beyond compare
I’m happy; heart aglow
Everything’s brand new
What looked dead, now alive
Butterfly visits on cue
A day to celebrate, not just survive
God loves us in every way
He gives us lovely gifts
Like a perfect Spring day
As our weary hearts He lifts

Fresh air
Breezy trees
Sound of chimes
Buzzing bees
Smell of grass
Flower buds
Errant fly
Lots of bugs
Tiny leaves
Electric green
Birds sing
Robins seen
Warm sun
Kites up high
Laughter echoes
Clear sky
Tulip blooms
Fields of clover
God smiles
Winter’s over!
