A Spring In My Step

Away bleak weather! It’s your time to flee.

Sun shines down and gifts me with his glow.
Pellucid are the streams from melting snow.
Robin’s come. I see her in my tree!
Ice and Sleet, it’s good to see you go!
Now the earth is ready to regrow.
Gladness sweetly takes a hold of me.

I take a stroll outside. It’s such a treat.
No longer do I trudge with dreary feet.

My gait is lively as I amble where
Yellow-flowered fields perfume the air.

Spring, is here! I feel my spirit sing
Thankfulness to God for everything.
Effervescently I greet each day.
Perpetually may this springtime stay!

I went out to feed the squirrels this morning and heard the same old bird chirping loud as hell, this for several mornings, I searched the bare branches and there she was, a cardinal, probably ready to nest. You are so, so, so clever, dear. Love, daver
