"Spring Is Here"
The gentle breezes are teasing
All the yellow petals of Daffodills,
And the mock Pear is budding;
It's blossoms ready to burst forth.

Snow storms and harsh winds
Are finishing it's meanness,
And all the glory of Spring
Is waiting round the bend.

Robins are drawing near
And anxous for warmer air;
To rest in a brand new nest
And begin their life cycle again.

People are venturing outside
To begin the ritual of lawning,
And cleaning up Winter's mess
That made everything too gloomy.

Creeping in with a vengence
Are wild flowers and weeds,
Making lawns a little ugly;
Thus the work does begin.

Taking stock in the hard times
That Winter put us through,
Glad that it's over for now
And dismissing it till next time.

Being happy that Spring is here
And rejoicing with the season,
Making everything count
In this place God created.
