Welcomed Spring
As days of Winter end with Spring,
Before we know, that time will bring
Complete release to walk and roam-
Devote more time away from home.
Enthralled by Spring's much longer day,
For us to spend outdoors in play-
Go seek out new and varied blooms,
Have joy in smelling sweet perfumes.
Invite dear friends for outdoor fun
Just to relax, enjoy the sun.
Keep lawns and bushes nicely groomed-
Love seeing trees have fully bloomed.
Move on from house to porch at will-
No cold to keep us bound by chill.
Observe as Springtime’s glow unfolds-
Pause to enjoy the thrills it holds,
Quiet sunsets bring soothing sighs-
Release our burdens neath pink skies;
Store energy for the next day
To spend again in Spring’s bouquet.
Under the Sun and warming breeze-
Victorious, Spring ends the freeze.
With her rebirth, we can embrace
Xanadu- say goodbye, erase
Year’s darkened days of Winter’s sting-
Zenith of each year- our Spring!
