I came across this old poem and illustration the other day.
I have always loved March. Spring is springing into action and it’s my birthday month!
The year I turned ten, Easter was ON my birthday. Oh, I felt so special.
This sweet poem gave me a whole new view of March. Just think of all the March things we see that no one has ever seen before!
Sure, lots of people have seen crocuses pop up after a long winter, but have they seen the new ones in YOUR yard? No, they have not. You are the first person on this earth to see them.
March is just full of firsts.
You might be the first person to watch the leaves unfurl on a tree. Those tiny, green buds are out there waiting to be discovered by you.
You will also be the first person to feel a specific spring wind kiss your face and the first to watch a fuzzy caterpillar make its way along a certain blade of grass. Those tiny shoots peeking out of the dirt in your garden will be spotted by you before anyone else sees them, and that particular raindrop never splashed anyone before it hit your face.
The water in that mud puddle is new and just waiting for you to jump in it. That new spring dress has never hung in anyone else’s closet before.
Oh, the wonders that March brings, the countless things waiting to be discovered. March is full of things no one has ever seen before.
I thought I couldn’t love March any more than I already did, but now I do. As I head outside, rain or shine, I will remember that God has placed magic in front of my eyes, and every day I will see things that no one has ever seen before.
Song of Solomon 2:11-12
11 for behold, the winter is past;
the rain is over and gone.
12 The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.
PIN THIS!
