My Journey to God

Welcome, Springtime

Springtime! I’d know you anywhere.
I smell the blossoms in your hair.
But you have learned to be discreet—
I notice snowshoes on your feet.

Come, don’t let Winter fool you so.
In March, he’s nothing but a blow.
We’re glad to see the last of him.
Take off your shoes and step right in.

What are your plans? What’s new with you?
Most everything? Of course, that’s true.
Let’s not waste time, we’re ready now—
God’s hand and ours upon the plow.
