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
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
