Spring is Here poetry & Big news

Ahhhh, it is Spring. Isn’t it wonderful? I do admit I loved Winter, but just when I had enough, beautiful yellow day lilies appeared as if to say, “Hello, I haven’t forgotten you!” After staying up almost all night twice last week (one for the lunar eclipse and the other for a tornado watch), I am ready to dance in the sunlit garden. Keep on reading for Spring is Here poetry & Big news.

So, I would love to share my Spring is Here poem with you today, as well as new podcast episodes with Susan Davidson and Rosann Coulon.

Tell me what is blooming with you!

Spring is Here



I see blossoms

on the shrubs,

outside my window.



Oh, a long walk does take

in the beauty of this season.



I feel like a seed

pushing my way

through the world.



Oh, dear Father,

grow me well in this day,

for I see wind blowing.



As the flag flaps

and trees bend,

the pollen drops.


Yet sunshine beckons me

as the slow mist of rain departs.



Outside I soak

in your wonderfulness.



A little timid, I feel, I must admit.



But yes, Spring is here,

and growth has come,

some slow, some painful, some delightful.



As I look toward the cross,

I know that the dormant season

is bringing forth new life,

new beginnings,

new love.

Carrying Jesus in my heart,

the new heart,

He gave me.



This new heart,

new each day,

by the Word.

“Spring is Here” was first published in The Way Back To Ourselves Spring Journal. I hope you enjoyed my poem and it will be featured in my upcoming debut poetry collection, “Prodigal Daughter: Poems of Light for the Lost Ones” published by the The Way Back Books this year. I have been working on this book for about a year (a dream that goes back to a poem first written when I was 13, yes it will be in the book) and it is getting so close to be in your hands.

It is a love story of the goodness of the Lord where we can find refuge in God the Father’s heart.
