Signs of Spring

When you walk you can hear the sounds of spring, The beautiful songbirds chirping their song, The snow begins to thaw, eventually melting, The sidewalks clean and easy to walk on. The sun shines beautifully and the clouds fade away, The air warms, and you know spring is coming. I look forward to spring again, the snowdrops and crocuses start to appear, The snow allowing them to make an appearance. The vacant trees whose branches are gnarled and uneven, Buds begin to appear and you know the leaves wiil unravel slowly. Milder weather is here and you transcend to clothing that is comfortable and warm, Spring brings hope and happiness to us all, god's blessing. Author: Gwen Meyer-Erlach Schutz
