New Spring

It should have come in April,
hadn't shown first week of May.
We waited through the winter,
eagerly waiting for the day
when the sun would shine with vigor,
the rain would no longer fall.
Today the sun is shining and
spring, at last, has come to call.

I welcomed spring with open arms
and danced just a bit for  joy.
I threw some blossom in the air
as if each one was a  toy.
A bunny nibbled on the grass.
A cheery bird song was heard.
New sights, new sounds, new pleasures
as all of Nature stirred.

Now wouldn't it be a bummer
if Covid-19 eliminates summer?

I was just writing this when the contest was closed. I can probably make a change in it for another new one. Joyce
