SPRING

 It should have come in April,

Hadn't shown first week of May.

I waited through the winter,

Eagerly waiting for the day

when the sun would shine with vigor,

The rain would no longer fall.

Today the sun is shining and

Spring, at last, has come to call.

I welcomed you with open arms

And I threw some blossom in the air

A cheery bird song was heard.

New sights, new sounds, new pleasures

As all of Nature stirred.
