AWED IN APRIL

(c)4/23/2008 By Sherrie flower

 

I am so awed in April

When everything turns green

And the morning sun

Across the lawn

Heightens the sheen.

 

And each new day

Through sun and rain --

Spring’s warmth

Reawakens life again.

 

Blink and you might miss

how everything

has grown another inch

what else might bloom today?

 

Tiny flowers along the sidewalk

Almost too small to see

And this year – oh how magnificent!

Is my magnolia tree.

 

There’s bloodroot in the forest

Spring Beauties on the lawn

Perennials sprouting everywhere

With each new dawn.

 

But, of all of Aprils thrills

Most glorious are

The Daffodils

Blooming en masse

At the edge of my woods.

 

Their bright cheery colors

So glorious to see

Are the “ icing on the cake”

Of April to me.

 

I am so awed in April

For all life resurrecting

From barrenness to fullness

Of all that Spring’s expecting.
