Oh, how I look forward to Spring! A change in temps, seeing things in a different light, a promise of newness of living, so many things to experience anew. Cold gone, and white changed to green. Winter has it’s positives (somewhere I guess), but Spring is eternal as far as I am concerned……
Spring 2018-30
A rebirth of the dormant world
With its rekindling of growth
Smells once forgotten, now back.
Creatures gone before, now returned.
Puffy and white now replacing
Grey and foreboding, welcomed
Amidst the gentle rains feeding
Plants awakened, stretching upward.
Lively steps in tired old men
Walking up the street with a bounce.
Children playing in puddles and mud
Grins, with sparkles in the eye.
Spring, a time of joy, a time of
Hope, a period of the rebirth
Once again of the world, the
Promise of continued life unfolds.
