March is named for Mars, mythical god of war.Known best for its Ides and St. Patrick’s Day, and normally very little more.

March, a turbulent time, with weather always changing.
A time for Spring house cleaning, and furniture rearranging.

Tis the time for the Irish, and St. Paddy’s Day.
Time for corned beef and cabbage' and for some a bit too much o’ beer.
Look closely the day after, in the morn’, to see who’s had too much o' cheer.

This year, Easter is within the month of March, living its promises every day,
Easter is all about reliving the ultimate Gift, the absolute Sacrifice,
the exquisite giving of Love, He lived, He died, He lives again today.
All Praises to our ever living Lord, our God, who for us goes all the way.

Spring begins it's annual pilgrimage, as always, in March again you’ll see.
A time of renewal and new beginning, flowers begin blooming and buds are on the tree.

As March departs, either like a lion or a lamb, pleasant days soon lie ahead and spirits start to soar.
If April coming up, didn’t include tax time, we’d like it even more.
