Spring of a New Time
Beneath the ash and soot
Below the birds who were
So wholly ignorant
As they sang their own song;
Thrilling, new, bittersweet
Sprang the closely tended
Beloved lush green shoots
For some, the season's signs
Marked not only new life
But signified a change
No more an ignored race
Happily fumbling through
The simple carefree life;
Now the line of heroes
No longer hidden as a wand'ring fiend
But crowned with the long awaited kingship
And given the companionship of love
Guide to some, saving warrior to all;
Now beloved leader of a nation
Second best has now proven character
And with the dawning of a new era
Known as faithful, valiant, loyal and true
Now joint with the daughter of kings; shield maiden
These comrades few, closed the final chapter
They changed their stories to victory
And remembered they will be...As Spring Blooms.
