Thank God for Spring and Husbands!

 

 

Sudden Spring

By The Marquise de Chambrun

 

When gilded head of crocus breaks the earth

And blossoms tremble on the almond tree

The sun is warmer on my aging back

And memories come crowding in to me.

The dragging winter months have lasted long

And chill has kept me prisoned to my hearth

My senses dulled by many months disuse

But suddenly it's spring again!

 

With eagerness I daily search them out;

Remembered signs and joys returned--

The first dark hidden violet,

The bursting gold of daffodil,

The early song of finch upon the bough,

The scarlet flash of cardinal,

And I am young again

Because

I find a sudden spring.

Love you dear! Happy Birthday and may you have many more springs to enjoy!
