Show The Aggie Review Page 5 The sun's warmth bursting through the ever wakening shadow of winter's gray Time for the angei-lik- e softness of poplar's catkin The of first signs springtime release such joys that they can hardly be Yet ibe full force of spring's energy is still in the ever suppressed swelling bud Days come so slowly that the joyful pain of every hour's growth cannot only be felt in expectant eyes but the soul as well When will the lilac bloom and the cherry blossom burst? How many times have you walked down the street on an early March afternoon and seen nothing of particular interest? Beauty is all around not of man's making but of nature's If we but take time to reap spring's harvest of joys the enlightened heart will spread goodness of all that is seen and touched Find a tree with special meaning and watch its subtle emergence into life Deep February sees the tight fisted bud resisting winter's drought Them comes the awakeneing of March Like a sleepy Saturday morning's eye slowly opening the buds swell Small spring flowers brave the early morning frost and flourish in the warm sunshine Watch carefully for every day special trees will swell with inner life waiting for day's length to be right With early April comes the life giving sun and greenery to every street corner Spring's bustling energy fills the air with the soft sweet scents of lilac blooms and cherry blosoms Colors abound enough to make even queen bee dance with joy Springtime is not far off Watch your favorite tree and soon that tightly tucked bud will open Its eye and stretch leaves and branches toward the sun's warmth Soon you'll see if you take the time |
