   SPRUNG

spring is here again at last 
but I never heard the door
clandestine in it's arrival
like the tide upon the shore

so quietly spring entered
no fanfare and no fray
yet I have noticed that the sun
dawns earlier each day

the weather may not show it
and the temperatures deny
but the flowers pushing through the snow
know that calendars don't lie

I do not hate the winter
yet to it I wont cling
but families 'round the fireplace
is no substitute for spring

"I'm just too busy, Lord
To read your Word today."
I shuffled through the Bible,
Then put the Book away.

"I'm just too busy, Lord,
To take the time to pray."
I'm sure God will forgive me.
I'm just too rushed today.

"I'm just too busy, Lord
To help that friend in need."
I hear God's inner prompting,
But I've no time to heed.

"I'm just too busy, Lord,
To stop and worship You."
Today's the day I'm planning
For me, some things to do.

I had a dream one night.
I knocked on heaven's door.
An angry angel answered:
"What are you knocking for?

"God's far too busy now.
He has no time for you.
On earth you were too busy.
So now, God's busy, too."

He turned away from me.
I stood there all alone.
I felt such utter blackness,
The likes I've never known.

When I awoke next morning,
I knelt beside my bed:
"From now on, make me busy
For You, my Lord, instead."

It's great to see you, Fish Hawk.
Sorry that I didn't get you thanked earlier for "Sprung".
We got home last night, and I didn't get online until this afternoon.
You captured spring! Thank you for sharing.
