[stylist] Love in the Spring

[Jacqueline Williams]

Lynda,
The performance of this poem must have been an over-whelming experience for
your husband. I can hardly imagine a jazz singer doing this. Was there
music?
If you do not mind, I am going to print this and give it to my grandson, 22,
who is soon to be married to a very sweet girl named Zochi, an Aztec name. I
believe the depth and meaning may be a blessing to them before they take
vows.
I do not associate it to spring, for as you know, in Arizona, we do not have
that! It is an all-season poem of love to me.
Jackie

I wrote this poem in 2000. I was sifting through poems today, putting things
in order and updating my folders. (Isn't that what we spend an enormous
amount of our time doing? Sorting, shifting, saving)

I am sending this one along because it reflects the love that we experince
in the spring time, if we have been very fortunate.  

This poem was a performance poem for the jazz singer, Betty Douglas. She was
giving a  concert at the Merrick Art Gallery and Museum, New Brighton, PA
that year and had requested I write a love poem that she could perform
during the concert. I wrote it to my husband. He was in the performance that
night, but had no idea this was coming during the program, and he had not
hard it before that night.

Easter, to me, is about eternal love. The love of God for humanity, when He
poured out everlasting love for all time. It was a question of love.
