Waiting For Spring

Since spring forgot to come and winter stayed, My garden is untilled, seeding delayed. A sodden March ran damply through each day. I hope for April to remove the gray. Each April is reserved for tulip tours. The brilliant colors are delightful lures. The tulips are attracting avid fans, While other crops fill in as also rans. Our valley is a beauty in the spring, But spring is not here yet and that’s the thing. We pray the sun comes out and is on time For merchants to attract the tourist’s dime. So now it’s up to April to perform To give us days that are spring like and warm. So tourists can find beauty and some fun And I at last can get my yard work done.
