Miracle Spring

I always wait for a miracle spring,
The thawing snow and ice and everything.

Days again where the sidewalks are clean,
Going for walks and staying lean.

The sound of the birds chirping again,
I haven't heard them since I don't know when.

The sunshine cheery and bright,
You know the day will be alright.

The warm wind and breeze on my shoulder,
I know that I am somewhat older.

Relatives and friends that come now and then,
What a miraculous surprise, you know that when they arrive.

Many miracles and I am truly thankful,
Blessings so kind and divine.

Thanks be to God our Lord and master,
I hope the days and nights will slow down and not go faster.

I do not know why you chose not to have your sixth and seventh couplets rhyme. Nevertheless, I find this an impressive write.
