The Cherry Blossom Tree



Soft pink petals dancing in the sun,
A new beginning, spring has begun,
Your radiant beauty brings me joy and peace,
God's richest blessings that never cease.

Everyone loves you cherry blossom tree,
You are a beautiful sight for all to see,
Your sweet fragrance fills the air,
And all I can do is stop and stare.

A few short weeks and your bloom has gone,
But my memory of you still lingers on,
Through the seasons until the following May,
Where you will bloom another day.
