Spring Day.



O thank you, thank you for this day,
Thank you for life, for one more day-
For this blue sky, cloud scudded, leaf swaying day,
This glistening, sparkling, sun filled day,
This dappled, shade strewn and patterned day,
This magnolia blooming, freesia littered, plum blossoming day,
This bud swelling, bird singing, spring cool fresh day,
This day that turns its back on winter’s cold,
This day of growth, colour and coming warmth,
This day of birth and laughter and song,
This tender day, this day of beginnings,
This lung filling, mind uplifting, joyous day,
This day when the heart swells and hope, like sap, rises,
This day when the world seems bright and light-
O thank you, thank you for this day,
Thank you for life, for one more day-
Let me join in its joyous song and praise.
Let this mind too blossom and grow.
Help me to walk worthily in it and through it.
Take my hand. Lead me. Show me the way.
