Queen of the Spring …
She who taught me everything,
Kindness, courage, chivalry
and the Quest
And to always do one’s very
best.
And that sticks and stones
could break my bones,
But names could never hurt
me.
In only 8 years, she did
bring
All one would need upon the
wing,
Reading, cooking, gardening
and chess
And how to treat a lady best.
And a love of nature and all
of God’s tones,
And “que-sera, what will be
WILL be.”
So the bells of life, in joy
could ring,
For me to live, and love AND sing!
Winter’s gone now, sun in the
sky
And a painted lady butterfly…
Flutters by me, beauty on the
wing,
I say “Hey, hello again!
… Queen of the Spring”
