Never hesitate –
Proclaim and preach God’s pure truth
First, by how we live
written in response to today’s prompt at The Daily Post
The land returns from Winter
like the Saint from pilgrimage
Bringing with him a bird and a flower
Over mountains like dragons turned to stone
Today repeats the yearly miracle
Along the valleys of the daffodil
And in the brightening sky above
St David’s emblem is the dove
