FRESH BEGINNINGS
(Song of Songs 2:8-13)
Spring is creeping out
from winter’s dark damp hiding,
Earth’s southern half warms.
Each day grows longer,
smiles grow wider, eyes brighten,
words often kinder.
Spring encourages
and calls us beyond ourselves
to fresh beginnings.
Together with this
one we name God offers life
in all its fullness.
