Spring Flowers On A Chilly Night

Spring flowers on a chilly night are amazingly strong
They are awake with the cold northern breezes blowing
Trying to keep their happy faces in the season's fickle ways
It is dark and most souls are sleeping, but the flowers never slumber
Saving up all their strength from the past years to wither the winds
Now is the time to shine and flourish
The chill could kill the frail being
Fragile and short is the life time
So they wear a glorious smile for you
Sometimes big, loud and eye catching
Other blooms are so hidden from the naked eye
Throny stemmed ones cling to mountainsides
Flowery vines wrap around whatever they can hold on to
Moist ones rest by rivers and the sandy shorelines of the oceans
So many spring flowers from the earth to treasure
Praying for the chilly evening gusts to be kind
Don't forget about the spring flowers on a chllly night
Spring is a favorite season for many
Still autumn remains somber and paints a different picture
All and all there is nothing like the beauty of spring flowers
Their petals dance in the April moonlight
They catch raindrops on petals for strength
Blue Mountain Laurels are wild and free in the countryside
Noonday rays on the flowers shout out their many patterned ways
I could go on with miles of tales of all the colors of a rainbow
Flowers given hand to hand with written words are symbols of love
Bouquets of amorous affections passed from heart to heart
A flower can help speak the languages of love
God's hands paint the flowers called roses for His children
Their thorns are a reminder of His Son's sacrifice
They sway in the winds of this special Easter season
Their lifetime is short so bend down and take take a sharp look
They were planted here for our enjoyment
Don't forget about the spring flowers on a chilly night
Sometimes hands reach down to pick them randomly
They are gentle to the touch and the aroma is sweet and fresh
There is no pain in being chosen and picked
Standing in full glory when placed in a glass, stone or bronze vase
There they will stand for a while for all eyes to gaze upon
Proud are the flowers that are adorned in the hair of a woman
See all the majestic creations in full living color
Watch the hummingbirds flutter around red blossoms
Observe the butterflies resting on the petals with their short life span
Flowers are brilliantly created with splashes of beauty
Some will take refuge on remote country roadsides
Others are home grown or store bought
Find a blessing in whole pastures filled with colorful little faces
A God given blessing to all souls seeking comfort along life's journey
They do their colorful dances in the lazy summer breezes as the sun does set
Just for the eyes of the beholder under the sun kissed sky
So step out into the sunshine and find the friendly face of a flower
But don't forget about the spring flowers on the chilly night
