Spring
Today the birds are blossoming into song,
And in the oven bakes a hot cross bun.
My heart cries out for what I’ve missed so long:
The gentle touch of living from the sun.
The peaceful blueness of the clearing sky
Is calling up the swelling of the bud.
Released from snow, excited birds can fly
Above the raging torrents of the flood.
The mild, showery blessing of the rain
Renews my soul to grow my hopeful seed:
Miraculous dispersal of the pain
That choked my mind so long with briar and weed.
The friendly sweetness of the welcome light
Destroys the tangling knot and ends my plight.
By Felicity W, age 10.
