These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Spring Comes

The days are growing lighter, gentler
from the recent frost.
How do we make our lives much simpler
with emotion's cost.

The thawing out of some gives way
to spinning winds unleashed.
The further blankets of each day
for some are still increased.

But when the snow gives drink to ground
throughout most northern climes,
then flower faces will be found
with hope for sweeter times.

The Spring of Life will come some day
when Christ breaks through the Blue.
His Brightness will leave naught to say.
We'll worship Him, Who's True.

For now, we live the trailers of
The Everlasting Show.
Salvation is The One, Whose Love
in us, we'll always know.
