Hunting For Spring

We’re so tired, of winter’s, snow and ice, For too long, we have been, within our house, winter’s price. Why won’t you come, to visit us, and sing? Where we’ll be touched, by your sun, so heartily, beaming. Oh where! Oh where! Are you, our sweet Spring? We need you, so very longingly! We saw you peak out, for just one day. Then you quickly, and suddenly, ran so very far away. So we did a Rain Dance, and danced in the cold. Without your shinning brightness, all we got, was cold snow! Oh where! Oh where! Did you go, our sweet Spring? Why did you run, so very far, with your blessing! We sought the Groundhog, that he ask you, to come back. But he was burrowed, deep beneath, all the snow, and ice pack. He wouldn’t open his door, as we knocked, true and hard. He refused, to even come out, as he denied the pleas, of this bard! Oh where! Oh where! Are you, our precious, sweet Spring? We beseech thee, to please come back, to me! The trees want to bloom; their sprouts are ready, to collect. Our hearts are there beside them, under this winter, and it’s effects. We’ll sit here, dreaming of the beauty, only you can affect. We’re hopeful, can’t wait, but now at March’s mercy, and redirect. Oh where! Oh where! Did you go, our sweet Spring? Our hearts and souls want to be warmed by thee! What? Dragon and I see you! We rejoice my friend! Our hearts, like the trees, are beginning, to warm again. The snow is leaving; all is greening, before our eyes. We beg you, to please stay here, solidly, close by our side. Oh where! Oh where! Did you go, our sweet Spring? At last! It doesn’t matter! We have you back, and all that you bring! Written for my good Friend Jack Ellison.
