Springtime

Tiny buds, petals sweet Little hands pluck and tweak Squirrels busy one more time Gathering acorns in record time Wildlife a-plenty with drowsy eyes yawn and stretch in sunshine bright On stiff new legs deer trip and fall Cute and dear babies all Green and yellow pink and red Colorful rugs on hillsides spread A fresh new dawn the earth reborn A blessing indeed oh glorious morn Such beauty so special so bright Is to look at the world through innocent eyes wide with wonder and dewy bright As sunbeams dance in dazzling light
