Open To Spring

I open myself to Spring,
anticipating gifts that it holds.
Renewal and wonders of life it brings.
I'm drawn to what the Season unfolds.

Anticipating gifts that it holds,
like Lilacs enticing Butterflies.
I'm drawn to what the Season unfolds,
sunshine, warm on my face lies.

Like Lilacs enticing Butterflies,
fresh air fills my lungs and soul.
Sunshine, warm, on my face lies,
my heart once again is whole.

Fresh air fills my lungs and soul.
Renewal and wonders of life it brings,
my heart, once again, is whole.
I open myself up to Spring.
