Special Time
by Joshua Watkins
Spring is the time
For love flowers
Has Easter
Spring
by Joshua Watkins
Trees pass away their winter colors
and pass away to verify life
always on going.
Life is ongoing
God sends new leaves.
I love God in the springtime morning.
Morning fans my face in sunshine
Forest leaves mark the gift of love and spring.
