Spring is such a wonderful time of year
A moment to me that is so very dear

As all of God's creation comes alive
Everything He made begins to thrive 

The birds sing the wildflowers bloom
Each bud infuses its faint perfume

Bees dance from blossom to blossom
all our woes and cares are forgotten

The fragrance of spring rains and new-mown hay
It brings fond memories of an earlier day

Refreshing my spirit with a new spring in my step 
I bow my head, thanking God for His continual help

Zec 10:1  Ask rain from the LORD in the season of the spring rain, from the LORD who makes the storm clouds, and he will give them showers of rain, to everyone the vegetation in the field.

Lent is the most Holy of times
Giving up many foods and wines

The solom observance of paying homage to Christ
In some Devine, way offering my small Sacrfice

The ordnance began many ages ago
Out of reverence of our Christ being tempted so

For forty days and forty nights in the wilderness, He stayed
Being tempted by the devil and fasting while he prayed

At the end of this time, He was hungry and ate
He outlasted the devil and overcame evil knowing his fate

I can only bow my heart and say
Thank you God for Your Sacrifice I pray

Luk 4:1  Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
Luk 4:2  where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.

Holy Friday is the Hallowed Day God molded the Key to setting man free.
On the Cross, by the shedding of His Blood, God pardons you and me.

That was the moment Love came down, touching the earth. God sending his Royal Crown.
A humble Man died on the Cross with all of Heaven looking down. The King Of Kings adorn that Crown.

Humanity was blinded by sin to what they had done.
They had no earthly clue that Truth had won.

Love conquered sin that very day when Jesus, God's son, began to pray.
Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do. I will light their way. 

God gave man the greatest gift of all. 
His Only Son, Jesus, who died for all. 

The unexplainable good that came out of the bad that hallowed day
Is the gift of Eternal Life from God
to all who believe and pray.

Crimson Red, the color of the blood flowing from my Savior's side.
His mother, in her broken heart, could feel her son had died.

As she wept, asking God why did this happen today? 
God whispered to Mary, He has not gone away.

She did not understand when the Angel first brought the news.
She only knew putting her Faith in God, she would choose.

Her son would not only return again
He could live in the soul of all men.

Mary in faith, taking God at His Word, Truly believing in her heart, all she had heard.

The piece that passeth all understanding calmed her fears.
The news of His resurrection wiped away her anguished tears.

God's plan unfolding, revealing the justification for her Sons birth
Mary bowed her head, thanking God for His Great Worth.

2023 is going to be a better year for me. 
How do I know? The Bible tells me so.

With God paving the way and Jesus by my side,
There is nothing I can't do. There is no need to hide.
