When I see flowers fresh in bloom
sprung to life in spring thrill
after the dark night’s winter chill,
I think of the miracle of life
and how nature itself is renewed.
I know You can renew me in the same way, Lord.
The miracle of life is within me too
and the miracle of Your love.
Lord, put a spring in my step,
that I may thrill at life again.
Heal not only my body, Lord, but my mind and heart as well,
then I will be able to praise You like flowers in abundance.
Amen.
-- By Columban Fr. Patrick Sayles
