Springtime, It's Springtime

Springtime, it's springtime 
Winter has taken a leave of absence 
Now it's time for flower to make their grand entrance
Leaving us awestruck and inspired

The mild breezes drift in through the shades
Almost knocking over the vase last year in pottery class I made
And the weatherman predicts unseasonably rainy weather 
I start working out because soon summer will come and I want to feel light as a feather

A unique black squirrel climbs up a tree full of lime green buds
I put away my worn out, dull sweaters
For a nice outfit of cotton duds

Today the rays of sun stay brighter longer
Don't worry, I tell myself, for no longer do I have to feel somber
At the metropolitan parks nearby
The snow shovelers have to say goodbye 

Springtime, it's springtime 
We can't wait to welcome you again
But for now I'd like to take a walk 
With my new best friend
