FRESH STARTS AND RENEWALS
Spring often brings thoughts
Of fresh starts and renewals
Like breaking old habits
Or shedding worn out skin
Opening up road blocks
Building wider pathways
Sweeping out cobwebs
Clearing fields of debris
Just one thing to remember
When you take on this task
The seeds of change flourish
When sown in fertile soil

THE EASTER GNOME
Yes, indeed, I’m the Easter Gnome
Bringing goodies to gnomish homes
I bring them treats
I bring them tricks
Oops, wrong holiday
But quick to fix
Carrots for health
Jellybeans for fun
An egg or two
And a hot-cross-bun
No rabbit needed
He can stay at home
This job requires skill, not furry fluff
That’s why, yes indeed, I’m the Easter Gnome
