Come Spring
Come, Spring; Come, gentle Spring, And beckon us to life again. We’ve wallowed long in dark and death, Despairing of a better day. But once again, with breath awash with sunlight, You’ve pressed your gentle way into the cold and gloom And bid us rise to meet you with a smile.

The Secret of the Ribbon Tree
I wrote this poem several years ago, but got to thinking about it this week — probably because we are coming up on Valentine’s Day. So I decided to give it some time online again.
