I Miss Spring in Oklahoma

I miss spring in Oklahoma,

I miss the new leaves of the cottonwood trees

as they appear in early spring.



I miss the lilac bushes

the lavender blooms decorating

Easter gardens.



I miss spring in Oklahoma

the winter wheat in the fields

sedectively beckoning.



I miss the Easter pageants

telling the story of resurrection

and eternal life.
