Spring

Winter has given its last chilly breath
And the dead leaves have finished their dance of death
Green saplings burst from down below 
As the water starts to flow

Warmth starts to flood the once icy land
Replacing the frosty winds that all had to withstand
Dew drops slide down the lifeless twigs
Onto the saplings who will soon be big

Squirrels quickly scatter from their homes
Wanting to begin to roam 
The birds start to sing sweet melodies
Pleasing the ears of everybody 

The kids pack away their woolly clothes         
And run across the ground with their bare toes     
They begin to scatter up newly green trees
And look out to all they can see

Those who were in hibernation     
Wake up to see the lands new creation
They climb out of their darkened dens  
And say hello to their old friends 

The smells of flowers now appear  
And everyone is excited which is clear  
They sit on their new picnic mats    
Enjoying their friendly and happy chats

The winter has been left behind  
While the sun has be left unbind   
It’s waiting for its chilly return   
But it’ll have to wait for it’s the suns turn
