Radiant sunrise
Landscape springs forward with hope—
Goodbye winter blues
Refreshing rebirth
Creation’s blessed treasures—
Spring’s salvation blooms
Spring’s welcoming breath
Waking from winter’s slumber—
Freshened with color
From the words of American naturalist, writer and philosopher, Henry David Thoreau: “Nature is but another name for health, and the seasons are but different states of health.”
Nature’s own therapy
Spring’s refreshing garden
Filled with colors of peace
Bearing life’s fresh pardon
Daily snapshot of hope
Each replenishing choice
Picked from nature’s goodness
Sharing next calming voice
Prime time’s blessed season
Signs of spirit reborn
Focused on healing light
Escaping from life’s thorns
Source of brighter outlook
Images praise with joy
Sweetened inspiration
Renewing vows deploy
Love accents morning air
Slightest breeze coming forth
Destined for harmony
Creating life’s true north
Praying
Without ceasing
Anchored to Father
Faith’s fabric of grace
Trusting
Walking
With Jesus
Destiny’s promised light
Faith strengthened through grace
Loving
Rescuing
From darkness
Witness Calvary’s forgiveness
Faith embraces redemption’s grace

Distant memory
Winter’s breath melted away—
Rebirth springing up
Crisp April morning
Afternoon promises warmth—
Daffodils dancing
Sun’s setting calmness
Another night, nature rests—
Guaranteed sunrise
