It's Almost Here

It’s almost here; it’s in the air—
	that lovely time beyond compare,
	when green clothes trees that once were bare
	and kids have energy to spare.

	Earth has awakened; life is new.
	New blooms smell fragrant; skies are blue.
	Who could resist this gorgeous view?
	The end of winter’s overdue!
	
	We welcome what the warm days bring
	when trilling birds are on the wing;
	then not just birds but people sing.
	It’s just around the corner—SPRING!

Andrea, thank you so much for your kind words! After I posted my TWELVE-line poem, I realized the prompt says minimum 14--had to go back and add two lines! Janice
