An ocean breeze
Winds ruffling through the trees
A lark chirps happily
A mourning dove coos
It’s springtime lovin’
A new day dawns
The old has gone, the new has come

Winter comes, winter goes
Spring is here, a season of plenty
The song of beauty
A time for growth, a time for renewal
A time of change, a time of transition

It comes on slowly, taking a second to test the waters
“Too cold,” it says, it’s not yet time
It’s only February
Here for a day or two
But gone quickly
“I’ll give you a taste, but it’s not my time”
“I’ll be back soon, but not now”

March comes, March goes
Spring is here for longer, but not to stay
“It’s not yet time,” it says once again
“I’ll be here for a bit, but I’ll be gone before you know it”
“I can’t stay, they won’t let me”
“But I’ll try”

April comes, “I’m here to stay”
Springtime lovin’
It’s a happy foray
Bird song echoes through the trees
Buds bloom, leaves grow
A season ready for renewal, ready for re-growth

A cleansing of the mind
A cleansing of the soul
It’s springtime lovin’
A new man, a new creation
Rested and restored
Alive and well
I overflow with abundance
I am filled with love, to receive and to give
I give unto thee as spring gave unto me
