Spring Inventory
by Joni Halpin
Spring asks me each year
As the light green appears,
And contrasts with my brown-tipped leaves of dark green
Is there new growth in me to be seen?
Growth began under a blanket of white,
Where’s the growth formed in the midst of my night?
The pruning was painful, old habits confessed
The season of waiting much longer than wished
But the old branch that’s wandered too far from the vine
Can hinder the new growth that’s learned to abide
The young branch moves to the light for its growth
And soaks in God’s wondrous grace notes
But the all-purpose sun feeds my branches too
Making the old continually new
The branch that has learned to abide in the vine
Feels the nudge of the Spirit—by God’s design
And so I’m reminded with this annual exam
That I can’t go with You and stay where I am
