I’m not a winter person. I jotted down this poem this morning as my heart rejoiced over the sounds and feel of spring this week. I hope it causes you to to rejoice and praise your Lord for the gift of life, and the gift of the changing seasons!

My heart thrills in song,
at the warming of the earth.
Sunshine clean, clear, bright,
swift chases all chill of winter night.

Melodic notes into crisp air,
cheerful songbirds clearly ring.
Whilst in chorus smallest frogs,
croak out rhythmic hopeful calls.

O rejoice ye little ones!
Fill starry night with sounds of spring!
All God’s creatures great and small,
Praise thy Maker at winter’s thaw!

My heart thrills in song,
at the warming of the earth.
Lips in praise echo heart’s deep cry,
O Worship the Lord, spring draws nigh!”
