Another poem I wrote. :) Enjoy.

A New Spring
a poem by R.J. Dixon

The whole world seems to be springing,
Springing, all things simply springing
Into a world of Flowers
And of Spring showers!

The Flowers are springing from the ground,
And its getting green all around,
The brownness of Fall is  beginning to fade,
And Spring is peeking out with colours of all shades!

The apple and cherry trees
Are becoming soft swaying pinks in the breeze,
While the little daffodils and tulips
Are drinking in the rainy drips.

Tiny little seeds in the dirt that lay,
Will soon become little flowers on a warm Spring day.
The soft petals of tiny daisies dot the fields,
That also delicious foods it yields.

Spring is the time when old things be put away,
The new things of Spring are here to stay,
Until the next winter which ahead lay,
But for now, it is a new day.

The Old is Put Away & the New Is Come
Spring always reminds me of the happiness that we will experience when we will meet our Saviour and reign with Him for one thousand years. It is a time when the old things are put away, and the new, fresh things come out to clothe the world.There will be made a new heaven and a new earth, and all the former things of this world will pass away.

When we see Him, it will be the dawn of a new Spring-time, a time when all things will be made new. I wish and long for the time when I will be able to walk beside my Saviour and Friend in His own garden on His new earth. I thank the LORD for all His blessings, including the blessing of Spring Time!

While in the barn, I took the liberty of taking a few photos of things. Thought I would share them with all my bloggy friends.

A shaft of light comes in from a crack in the feed room…

My shadow. I wonder what that chicken was thinking…

This is a small maple branch that fell from our big maple tree from the ice storm last winter. It was quite a pretty thing, don’t you think? ;)

I took one of the photos I took of myself last October and used PhotoShop CS3 to make it a black and white photo. I was so proud of myself for finding out how to make it a black and white photo. :) Which one do you think is best?
