A poem from my book entitled Slices of Life. I had this booklet published and copyrighted in 1997, while residing at Elliot Lake, Ontario.

I would like to share this poem with your reading subscribers. I've recently written about 15 more, and plan to have all poems (approximately 61) republished if I can find a publisher willing to do them. They deal with all aspects of life (birthdays, anniversaries, war, death, loneliness, seasons, etc.).

Spring's Magic
What is Springtime?

Is 'Spring' a time when
Winter's grip
No longer numbs our land?
And 'Father Frost' with mighty whip
Lacks strength to make his stand?

Is it time of quenching rain
When seeds and plants do thrive -
And all of nature's selfless pain
Helps 'Mother Earth' revive?

Is 'Spring' a time of endless hope
That the sun's warm nurturing hand -
When all of nature's magestry
Will overcome life's strifes?

Is 'Spring' a time for all on earth
Th give praise and sing for joy?
For now we feel so full of mirth
As each new day passes by!   Submitted By: NULL
