It has been a long, hard winter and spring has come none too soon. It never fails to amaze me how even a hint of spring can change the mood in people. Here is a lighthearted observation I hope you will enjoy.
WHEN SPRING IS HERE
When spring is here and grass is green
Bursting buds on trees are seen.
While songbirds sing and build their nest
Bees awake from winter’s rest.
With sunny days and balmy breeze
Hearts unfreeze and show more ease.
Folk readily smile, twitter to no end.
Prove to all, they can be content.
When billowy clouds waft their way
Children on their street will play.
Gaily laughter is overheard
So our hearts are strangely stirred.
When spring is here young men parade
While ogling girls behind dark shade.
Young women do understand that game
And dress to set desire aflame.
The spring time earth brings gardening craze
When families sow and plant for days.
With hope in heart they expect array
Of pretty flowers to display.
Springtime balm lure grannies out.
They soak up warmth . They trudge about.
They smile to all, with toothless grin
To strange alike and visiting kin.
Budding blooms on window sills
Revive lost hopes for chronic ills.
Cheery mood and a thankful heart
Help ease pain and depression part.
Spring has sprung. Nature sings its song,
Turning a page to forget all wrong.
Young and old make a joyous throng,
Where all feel good and get along.
