A Whole New Day
Spring, bareheaded, seems to float
Across the grassy countryside
It’s cast aside its snowy coat
And dances carefree far and wide.
The sun looks down on spring anew,
Sends a gentle breeze to kiss a rose,
Dandelions buttery and violets blue,
In new grown grass to tickle the toes.
Butterflies blue and black and gold
Flutter and flit in the perfumed air
Drinking nectar in flower heads bold -
Sun-sweet food for a faery’s fare.
Boys skim down a playground slide
Girls fly high on wings of a swing.
Spring ruffles their hair on a bicycle ride
And whistles the song that children sing.
It’s here at last, that sun-derful season,
Which gives us strength and brightens the gray
For surely it’s spring that gives us a reason
To open our eyes to a whole new day.
