Why Love Spring?

Perhaps it’s the position of the sun Its direction now slightly changed Offering a new perspective of fun And it’s the recede of winter snow from the earth The relief of endless shoveling and wearing of boots And stirring of rebirth And the tracking of soil with muck under heel It’s the hope of blossoms making an appearance on the trees The vision of endless flowers blooming with appeal The ever-tenuous advance of the tulips tips in the March breeze The promise of warmer weather Emerald pastures emerging where there was brownness Baby birds snuggled in their feathered retreat It’s the Easter holiday and new apparel with shinny shoes It’s the arrival of animals that once lay fast asleep It’s the vision of hope and change to bring us cheer And the laughter while digging in your basket for those yellow peeps Why love spring? It’s in the air
