If Only Spring

For Spring to Come For spring to come we can hardly wait; In every part of it want to participate; Hear birds sing as flowers start to grow Watch fine fields while they will flow. Leaves turned green which were brown; And spring showers started falling down, With water that eventually by now brings Born butterflies soon with beautiful wings. Sun will start shining more each day Pretty soon clouds are passing away; Sky becomes Carolina blue and clear, After all of gray color did disappear. A while now, nearby, spring has been, While we always wanted to see it again; So silently spring surely started to fade; Summer was here as we sat in the shade.
