A Time For Awakenings

A time for awakenings
And stirrings
Spring cleaning
Of the internal kind

New resolutions for days
When the sun shines upon us
Getting rid of the cobwebs

Away with hibernating tendencies
Go play outdoors
Take in some sun
Breathe in outdoor air

Dust the bikes
Go for strolls
Plan mini excursions
Line up some adventures

Get ready   get set     go
Remember the meaning of the word play
Chase butterflies
Watch birds build nests

Explore
Watch the buds come out
Then suddenly explode
Watch the colour green
Take over the world

Stress giving way to smiles
As people remember why
They hold on to boring jobs

Sun’s up early and sets later
Longer days more time for fun
Longer weekends by default
Me time is no longer in the dark
Life is worth living
To the fullest
Spring is a revival 
Rejuvenation
Joy at our fingertips
