Cherry Blossom Viewing In Japan Poem by Toshie Nohara

Oh I love Spring in Japan
The season of cherry blossom viewing
The reason to go outing for
cherry blosom festival
When cherry flowers bloom with radiance


Oh how these beautiful blossoms innocently
wink at me when I
gaze in awe of God's creation
Cute flowers in white, light pink,
dark pink
All in their glory
The best I have ever seen
A marvellous sight
Some variety even in yellow or green
A peaceful feast for my eyes
My mind fills with joy and satisfaction
My hope soaring freely with admiration
I am in holiday mood
Everything seems good
My heart singing a love song
My feet dancing silently
My face a graceful smile
When the morning breeze blows gently
Oh how the petals fall lightly on my hair
And on the big crowd of people everywhere in
the park

Cherry blossom season
the time for enjoyment in Japan
Cherry blossom festival
the reason to be out in Spring in Japan.
Oh what a wonderful blessing.
