Dance of Spring

DANCE OF SPRING Where deep mire marred our winter footpath ways Now Spring brings transformation to these trails As damp and cold no longer rule our days The sun with caution gives us warm avails Now islets firm attract discerning feet With deft side steps eluding every snare And pick through hazards, as in dance upbeat With steps worthy of Kelly or Astair As perils of the passing year are faced And Spring brings hope of healing to our lives May steps though cautious be with courage braced Negotiate the plague where it yet strives No more at nearness shall we look askance Together then may each one join the dance
