A prayer in spring...

 Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;

 And give us not to think so far away

As the uncertain harvest; keep us here

 

All simply in the springing of the year.

 

  Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,

 Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;

 And make us happy in the happy bees,

 The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird

 

That suddenly above the bees is heard,

 The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,

 And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

 For this is love and nothing else is love,

 

The which it is reserved for God above

To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfil.

~~Robert Frost

Things in our neck of the woods are sprouting, blooming, and budding. Like answers to prayers.

Have a blessed week.
