Awaken Spring

Spring did not want to appear
as winter kept her nice and warm
covered by  his coat of white
it was to comfortable to wake up
it meant work for her
she had gotten to comfortable
the trees began to bud slowly
upset with spring unwillingness
the flower bulbs peeked out
wondering what was keeping spring
the sun shone brightly to wake her
so slowly she decided enough
unwillingly she cast her warmth
upon the earthly orb
spring became awake
