Spring Draws Nigh

Warm winds clear the land of snow: when daffodils start to show. And as cold spells ebb and wane, Winter's Ice Queen ends Her reign. Leaves unfurl on every tree; ice breaks up, and creeks flow free. With each dawn, the sun shines strong; night shrinks, the day stretches long. Winter is fleeing the scene: soon it'll be time for sunscreen. But that's a small price to pay; to get the kids out to play. Grey clouds on a field of blue, water, snowdrops popping through. And songbirds soar in the sky; a sure sign that Spring draws nigh.
