Welcome Spring

The birds sing

The sound echos all around me

I try to trap the music in a jar

To listen to it at a later date

The snow melts, more and more each day

Bright and warm, the sun comes to greet me

Squirrels scamper to and fro

So it would seem that Spring is here

Winter’s chill still lingers

Clinging to my bones

Cold wind rushes in

The sun fights it as temperatures rise

More and more I see people jogging

Riding their bikes

Making great use of the longer days

Enjoying the return of rebirth and warmth

Good-bye Winter

It’s not a fond farewell

For you’ll be back all too soon

Yet I still tip my hat to you

You have your use

But it’s your turn to rest

And Spring’s time to play

I will continue to enjoy it for as long as it stays
