I can hardly wait,
To see Spring once again.
I want to feel the embrace,
Of warm breezes upon my face.
I am so very tired
Of this unbearable cold.
I don't like feeling as tho
My toesies are freezing so.
I yearn to see beautiful flowers,
All blooming and smelling so nice.
I await anxiously for that first robin,
To fly from the very far horizon.
I don't like wearing sweats,
In order to keep warm.
I hate this awful look,
Just to keep from being cold.
I can't stand being so cold,
It seems my nose is frozen so.
My fingers are turning blue,
And my nails are brittle too.
All I want to do,
Is sleep all day thru.
And to stay snuggely warm,
Like a bear in it's home.
I can hardly wait
To pack away my winter clothes.
I want to dress down as they say,
Into my short-shorts and t-tops.
I yearn to be outside,
In the glorious sunshine.
To feel the green grass beneath,
As I wander in my bare feet.
But alas alac tis not so,
There's a little while yet to go.
All I can do is dream,
And impatiently I must wait it seems.
It's getting closer into being,
This long awaited Spring.
I really do like being warm you hear,
But yet it's still cold out there.
