I Long For the Coming of Spring

Today the cold north wind blows. The weather is fierce and wild. I long for the coming of the spring With fragrant breezes mild. When gently falling rain Encourages buds to bloom And fluffly clouds in a clear blue sky Dispel the winter's gloom. I long for the coming of the spring When winter is at an end. For the soothing warmth of spring Will start my soul to mend. entered in Deborah Guzzi's foreign exchange contest: this is winter in Canada

After just seeing the Eagles lose to the Packers, I am longing for the coming of spring even more. This nice ensemble of descriptive words and rhyming has me anticipating for the start of spring training for the Phillies down at Clearwater, Florida.

It's coming, dear. Wish you were here in Florida. Our high tomorrow is supposed to be in the low 70s. It's cool tonight at 44 degrees. When you see the first signs of those buds blooming, I hope all of winter's gloom is behind you. Love, Carolyn
