QUOTE : The Springtime Guest by Stewart Stafford<br /><br />From winter's wounded sleep,<br />Dear Nature rouses itself again,<br />Bearing no ill will for the scars,<br />Timely movement blooms again.<br /><br />Bursting colour, praising birdsong,<br />Easy smiles when sprightly of step,<br />Lambs and cats frolic in sunny play,<br />Banishing winter's despair for now.<br /><br />Welcome warm kisses on the wind,<br />Summer's young sibling promises,<br />Much more to come in rolling time,<br />With comfort in the heart of progress.<br /><br />© Stewart Stafford, 2022.
