Here Comes Spring

One lonely jonquil bows her timid head.
From earth and rain her slender leaves are fed.
Then, sunlight peeks upon the shaded site.
Sun offers warmth from snowy chills of night.

As days grow long and springtime tiptoes near,
The woodland fairies giggle while they dance.
Sweet violets spread their blossoms without fear.
For posies soon shall usher in romance.

In full array the meadow colors burst.
The leprechauns bring magic as rehearsed.
Wild flowers spreading, decorate the Earth.
Where shamrocks grow, good fortune will disperse.
The butterflies and bees with nectar sing.
The ground hog sees no shadow; here comes spring.
