Spring Promise
by Iris W. Bray
Illustrated by Kim Fritzemeier
Tender buds on shrub and tree
Boast of spring's bright victory.
Boast of spring's bright victory.

Dormant seeds beneath Earth's floor

Leap from darkness through life's door.

To fertile fields with glint of green.

Blossoms burst to meet the sun -
The glad awakening has begun!

Somewhere beneath Death's winter sleep
Mortals too wake from the deep -
(sunset)
For Christ arose that he might bring
His promise of eternal Spring!
