Winter with its ice and snow
is as the distance of death from life,
in the Spring of the reborn life in heaven.
Daffodils announce the coming
of the full glory of Spring on earth,
..........................................................................
of the souls of Christians
will come everlastingly in paradise.
Dogwood forests,
with the impact of white beauty,
are as the spirit of the love of Christ
for His children on earth.
The beaming faces of blossoming roses
are as loved ones already in heaven,
welcoming their loved ones
entering heaven at the present.
Wisteria vines with their purple blooms,
representing the souls of the saved,
climb on slender trees
as if they were rising above
the rose purple clouds of the atmosphere
into the paradise called heaven.
Easter lilies are as the white stars
speaking of all of Christ's
Christian children in heaven.
Huge oak trees with budding life
are as mighty bodies and arms holding up
the souls of the saved
into the gate of heaven.
A multitude of bugles
sound the maximum glory of Spring,
as after the end of history,
when all of Christ's Christian children
praise God in heaven.
