God’s Springtime Masterpiece

Early April is a lovely time
Redbud and pears are in their prime.
Pears with their heavy load of white
Accents the pink redbuds so bright.
At their feet are thickets of plum.
Overall you can hear the busy bees hum
In God’s Springtime Masterpiece.

All across the endless plain
Scattered in the gentle rain
Are white petals of wild strawberry
Where the robins dance so merry.
In the gullies are yellow flowers
Of the gooseberry’s rambling briers
In God’s Springtime Masterpiece.

God used a lavish hand
Casting colors upon the land.
With all that white he began
Adding tones of yellow and tan.
Then with a flash of violet’s blue
He created an unsurpassed view
In God's Springtime Masterpiece
