EARLY SPRING

                                                                         
                                                                                                   EARLY SPRING

                                                        Can spring come to early
                                                        For those who have had
                                                        A bitter winter
                                                        Where frost has chilled hopes
                                                        And frozen warm relationships
                                                        Or stilled famililar voices?
                                                        Can spring come too soon?
                                                        We think not

                                                        Can spring with its resurrection
                                                        Come too quickly
                                                        And wipe away stained cheeks
                                                        Or mend broken hearts
                                                        Or calm troubled souls?
                                                        Ah, we think not.
                                                        Come spring, come early
                                                        Come soon
