Rebirth

Spring lightens our spirits
gives promises of warmth
after the long cold months
celebrates life's renewing
cycles and growing times

Time to clean out old gardens
gather dried leaves left behind
clear out the cobwebs of
body and soil to make room
for the new green reachings

How comforting is the pattern
of renewal, rebirth and new life
anticipation mounts as events
build, He will be remembered
again as Easter approaches...
