Spring Redbud
Before the elms and pecans
Is a redbud on the lawn
Its bright color standing out
And beautiful there without a doubt
It is a very special tree
At the edge with heart-shaped leaves
And a first sign of life
from the long winter\'s night
It is seen from afar
As if it were a nighttime star
And stands out in the light
As the sunshine makes it bright
Every spring we admire them so
And celebrate the way they grow
And know that in the days of March
Their flowers decorate many parks
And when the elm and pecan trees bud
The redbuds grow their leaves of love
There in the springtime sun
To be admired by everyone
