A SPRING MORNING

Awake! The morning breaks with sweet delight,
Where flowers blush and play in soft embrace,
The world renews as sun-kissed gives its light,
Where every breath speaks of a tender grace.
A spring morning unfolding time and space,
In harmony, the earth does gently sing,
With rustling trees and breezes that interlace,
Oh joy of spring the heart shall ever bring!
