Sunshine’s Serenade

Tympani tap out your beat,

pitter-patter at my feet,

notes that songbirds’ trills repeat,

raindrops unafraid.

Drips and drops in double time,

church-bells’ cheerful childhood chime,

sweet percussion, Springtime rhyme,

Sunshine’s Serenade.

Cranberry, Clap Your Hands!

Cranberry, clap your hands;

The sun has come to play!

The birds are chortling in their bands,

The bees buzz on their way.

*

Cranberry, lift your eyes;

An Artist’s touch is seen

Wherever light lands on the skies

Or gives a leaf green sheen.

*

Cranberry, feel sun’s smile;

Its warmth can comfort you,

Its rays can dry the tears you’ve cried

And make your soul feel new.

*

Cranberry, clap your hands;

The sun has come to play!

The birds are chortling in their bands,

The bees buzz on their way.

“You will live in joy and peace.  The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands!”  Isaiah 55:12 NLT
