Get Ready

It’s here—sweet, long-awaited spring.
Earth has awakened; life is new.
The breeze exudes a unique zing.

Let’s have a big outdoors wing-ding.
Who could resist the springtime view?
It’s here—sweet, long-awaited spring.

The trilling birds are on the wing.
New blooms are lovely; skies are blue.
The breeze exudes a unique zing.

Cool rain is Queen; the sun is King.
The season’s fun, kids now pursue.
It’s here—sweet, long-awaited spring.

Bright kites float high on lengthy string
when springtime makes its grand debut.
The breeze exudes a unique zing.

The young and young-at-heart will sing
of love, and some will say “I do.”
It’s here—sweet, long-awaited spring.
The breeze exudes a unique zing.
