Then God said, "Let the plants grow from the earth, plants that have seeds. Let fruit trees grow on the earth that bring their kind of fruit with their own seeds." And it was so. ~Genesis 1:11
In the thaw
I come to be
When the cold
God bids to flee
For in the warmth
Of promised spring
Every hope
And heart will sing
Amen!
We certainly need hope that the Spring will bring better times to this world. Thank you, Martha.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Oh, yes, Victor, we all need hope in these perilous and troubling times.

Oh so wonderful to see the daffodils blooming! They don't grow here in Florida, so I have look for them at the store when they have them. Enjoy them for me, okay? Thank you!! Lovely poem...perfect!
ReplyDeleteI'll certainly enjoy them for you, Pam. I didn't realize that there aren't daffodils in FL, but then I remembered that the bulbs need cold temperatures in the winter in order to trigger growth in the spring.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed the poem.
Love and blessings!
My daffodils are just beginning to stick their green leaves up through the soil. The English bluebells are about 10 days ahead of them.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think we are several weeks ahead of you all when it comes to spring, Glynn. I'll bet those English bluebells are gorgeous!

You should publish a book of your poetry! It would make a wonderful gift for those we love.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
You are much too kind, Lulu! I'm happy, though, that you enjoy the poetry I share here.
DeleteLove and blessings!
I love that poem, thanks! We have many daffodils in The Netherlands, and tulips... but not yet, they are coming out soon :)
ReplyDeleteI know you're looking forward to those flowers blooming, Marja. We get to enjoy the warmer weather a bit earlier than most folks.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Such a beautiful poem heralding hope for spring, Martha! If we do get snow and freezing rain here tomorrow as is predicted, I will think of your bright and cheery daffodil. :) Thank you for this encouragement! We so long for spring! Love and blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteOh, my, Trudy, it sounds like winter still has a stranglehold on you for the time being. I do hope the temperatures warm for you sooner than later. Until then, I hope Danny's photos will do!
DeleteLove and blessings!
I love the poem and I adore daffodils, buttercups and Narcissus. They are my favorite flower. Thanks for sharing your lovely poem. Hugs and blessings.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased that you liked this poem, Nells, and to know that we share the same love for the flowers you mentioned here. Just more reasons to thank God for His amazing creation.
DeleteLove and blessings!
What pretty little ladies in their yellow and white pinafores! I agree with Lulu, and would love to see a book of your poetry.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Myra. I'm certainly humbled by the words of encouragement and praise you, and others, have shared here. I will think about it . . .
DeleteLove and blessings!
Amen!! God is so good!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, Terri, God is always and forever good! That's the best comfort and peace we could ever lay claim to.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Dearest Martha Jane,
ReplyDeleteSpring is the rebirth of nature and it lifts our spirits up.
May the over 40 million residents from the Ukraine not lose their hope of a rebirth, for seeing their country wake up in the spring beauty once again.
May God help us ALL.
Hugs,
Mariette
Praying with you, Mariette, for the country of Ukraine and its courageous people. May God save them all!
DeleteLove and blessings!
May God save ALL that did not step up...
DeleteSweet post Ms. Martha. Thank you ma'am. Spring is always a time of renewal and awakening my friend. Enjoyed the post.
ReplyDeleteWe can all use a bit of spring in our hearts and minds right now, J. D. Thanks for your kind words!
DeleteLove and blessings!
Beautiful! What a beautiful time Spring is
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly a gorgeous season of the year, Cheryl, and one that infuses hope in every heart.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Olá Martha
ReplyDeleteA primavera é uma época linda, as flores são belas, bjs querida.
Oh, yes, Lucinaiva, a most gorgeous time of the year, that's for sure!

Bom dia meus queridos amigos do Blogger. Infelizmente estou sem internet em casa, o que fica difícil responder a todos com carinho e atenção. Prometo assim que for possível dar a atenção que vocês merecem. Bom sábado com muita paz e saúde.
ReplyDeleteOh, that has to be tough, Luiz. Hoping you get your internet back up and running soon. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteLove and blessings!
Simply beautiful, Martha! May spring bring hope to our hearts.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Karen! Spring is, indeed, the season of hope.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Daffodils are my favorite, None in Ohio yet but they will be coming!
ReplyDeleteOh, Jean, you have so much beauty to look forward to! Daffodils always make me smile and infuse hope in my heart.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Lovely, Martha! I love daffodils too. I see green shoots where they grow in our neighbor's yard; ours will soon follow. Theirs get more sun than ours. But I'm glad they don't come up together. We get to enjoy them longer!
ReplyDeleteEnjoying them longer is such a lovely gift, Nancy. We are in the shade, but like you, many neighbors have full sun, so we reap the same rewards in the spring. What could be better?
DeleteLove and blessings!
I can't wait for Spring! I am still so cold!
ReplyDeleteI hear you, Ed!
DeleteLove and blessings!
I love daffodils but unfortunately, they don't grow in our tropical corner of the world.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post as always, Martha!
No, Veronica, daffodils most definitely need cold winter temperatures to thrive in the spring. Glad you enjoyed the poem!
DeleteLove and blessings!
yes, let spring appear!
ReplyDeleteAmen, Linda, you know it!
DeleteLove and blessings!
