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
