The Return

Take a long look through the looking glass see how the land you have known has changed Shadows which blocked the sunlight are now blown by the west wind warmth returns to the land to the fields, the forests the towns yet the bitter winter winds Have left their mark On all of us Can spring revive us? Will the shoots that rise up through the verdant earth Renew us? Creatures of nature that we are We need to see the rebirth of the land We need to know that once again beautous flowers - a riot of colors Will grace out fields, forests and towns Through even the harshest winter Spring always returns To dance her dance before our delighted eyes
