Poem of the Week

Coming of Spring
By Ralph J. Adams

     I saw the sun come up today,
     A brilliant cast of color across the snow.
     The tree's were crystallized with gems of ice,
     A painters picture to behold.

     I know we have to face the weather,
     The cold dark days with the bright,
     But when the sun comes shining through,
     It warms our hearts with delight.

     I know God makes this contrast,
     So we can appreciate and compare.
     The warmth of the sun beating down on us,
     And the breath of cold fresh air.

     But, I do look for the coming of Spring,
     When the crocus breaks through the ground,
     To burst out with its petals, and say,
     That the freshness and beauty of Spring,
     Is only a couple of weeks away.

     Now I hope that Spring will be coming soon,
     And on my knees and heart I pray,
     That the Groundhog did not see his shadow,
     This February on Groundhogs' day.
