"Prayer for Spring"
Ah, Lord. Would That Spring Would Come!
Would that the Earth in blossom would come forth
And the green things, and the trees reinvigorated!
Ah Lord!  That The Cold Would Abate, and be gonw
 That Winter be Banished from the earth for a season,
How I Thirst For Spring as a sad flower that needs water
I look around and see many dead or sleeping plants, but
very few living ones.  How Long can this Winter Last?
In my beloved hometown the trees are as dead twigs
broken and bent, my grasses and vines are dried and white.
Ah, Lord, Would That Sping would Come!
Posthaste!
In Jesus' Name,
 Amen
