Winter's Child and Spring

Spring Blooms, Summer Fades, Autumn Sleeps
and Winter Flees...
Each Season must give way to the next,
but this year, Winter's Child refused
to give up her Post.

When Spring's Apryl came to Winter Season's Gate,




Photobucket



Little Poe cried...
"To welcome you, Spring,
I am not ready to agree...
rather, I am thinking about
what will happen to me!"




Photobucket



Apryl had indeed arrived to welcome in Spring,

with warm winds and gentle rains within her wings,
and with flowers springing up wherever she sings.
But first, the Winter's Child must leave.




Photobucket




Yet Poe firmly sent her away.
Apryl left her shoes by the Gate,
returning the next day to argue her fate.




Photobucket




Meanwhile, Poe sat forlorn upon her perch...
How she loved the sparkles that danced across the snow
as she pondered whereto and wherefore they all might go.




Photobucket




She glanced down at the stoop's seat which
suddenly had changed...

Sadly, Little Poe's world was becoming quite rearranged.




Photobucket



One day as March was caught in a lull,
Apryl brought a flower with one tiny dew drop, very dull.
It held no sparkle like the winter fields of snow,
it merely reflected her sad face of woe.

Poe was not impressed.



Photobucket



Apryl softly said, "Poe,
I think I know where you can go!



Photobucket





"Each morning could you lend the morning dew,
a sprinkling of your icey sparkles anew?
And when the flowers go back into the ground,
your Season's turn will soon come back around!"




Photobucket


"So now, Winter's Child, can I bring in the Spring?"



Photobucket



Poe thought for a long moment...



Then, she left her perch with a hop,
handed Apryl her slippers
and quickly went off to sparkle the dewdrop...







Photobucket




Apryl knew Poe's mission would carry her along,
and Winter would be welcomed in again,
before she even knew the snow was gone!




Photobucket



With both Poe and Apryl working together,
this Spring would be even more beautiful than ever!

Please join Apryl, Poe and me as we heartily welcome in Spring
