New life
By: Alice Beesley
The sun shows its face
Rain washes earth clean
The frozen ground thaws
As grass turns pale green
Tulip bulbs push petals
Up through dirt in spring
Robins make nests,
lay eggs, and sing
On the branches of trees
Tiny buds begin to grow
Opening into blossoms
That fall like snow
The world is painted
In pastel hues
With a splash of watercolor
Pink, yellow, blue.
Eggs dipped in dye
Are hidden and found
By children who giggle
As they hunt and run around
Chicks hatch, bunnies hop
And lambs are born,
New life begins like the
Lord who rose on Easter morn
