Prairie Floor

Wind swept prairie land

Against all elements you stand

The sun shone brightly on this spring day

Bringing forth the early buds of May

This wondrous season, time of rebirth

Snow disappears from mother earth

Crocus and tulips are beginning to rise

Covering the earth before our eyes

Birds are arriving from the south

Ice is melting at the rivers mouth

Rabbits shed their coat of white

Days are longer giving more light

Waters rise high and rush away

On this warm spring like day

Grass is turning from brown to green

Adding color to make a picturesque scene

Trees full of buds and seeds

Spring is in the prairies , yes indeed.
