Spring Season

When daffodils brighten my windowsill And warm Spring rain begins to fill My outdoor pots and borders wide My heart cannot help but burst with pride We have survived Winter's squalls and snow Spring has arrived for a few weeks more No more icy winds and feeling jaded Collapsing fences and motorist's stranded Spring you are welcome as a friendly face Spend time with me and slacken your pace Join with me as gardening we go Amongst the hyacinths bluey glow Neighbouring garden mowers and scythes Fills garden spaces when Spring arrives Germinating seedlings boxed in rows "Stop your pinching you greedy crows!" Early morning twitterings of a feathered friend Youngsters are feeding, extending necks bend Life renewing in all aspects on show Whether plant, insect or baby doe Streams are filling from the Spring rain As fish in numbers too many to contain Their underwater world coming to life Freed at last their breeding rife Bleeting lambs born in the cold Farmers bottle feeding them, some to be sold Weekend treats with Dad and Mum Children happily farm visiting come Easter heralds festive times Easter hat parades and egg hunt finds Foliage filling empty trees Humming insects and honey bees Now this Spring we begin to know So thank you God for creating this show
