A Day In Spring

Bakim

A DAY IN SPRING such as today

    I often give my heart away

I cannot hold inside my mind

    A grasp on others of my kind

And those like you who also say

    I'd like to take some time today

To pay attention to my world

    And see the wonders now unfurled

Of warmth and beauty Springtime brings

    To boys and girls and queens and kings,

To bees and rodents, cats and mice,

    Birds and bees, and bugs and lice.

All the creatures great and small

    Are testimony to it All.

A great and wondrous God we've got

    Our world is gold inside the pot

Of life and love at rainbow's end

    And so I wish for you, my friend,

A day with butterflies and sun,

    A spot of shade and lots of fun,

A friend whose countenance is glad

    And times like these that can be had

Because the dark and cold have gone

    And Summer is soon coming on.

Enjoy your Saturday, my friend,

    And in our hearts will never end.

We'll always hold within our soul,

    A sense of how our lives are whole

Because of God and me and you

    And family as such as likened to

A universe of life and light

    From God to tiny flicker's mite.

From the Transcriber:

From the Spokane Teacher Base, Gerdean TR's this most amazing poem, in case you missed it. Jim Cleveland, no wonder your poetry is great, with Bakim's influence as here...

BAKIM: Bakim here. Greetings. I am a celestial artisan. I would like to leave you with a short piece.
