Sweet Day of Sunshine

After a long winter spell, the beauty of a spring day takes my breath away
its good when the trees stretch out their leafy green arms and say Heh 
and the flowers after a long awaited hour push forth with brave hurray,  
the beauty of the springtime, takes my breath away...
Hand painted bird houses hanging from a backyard, bathed in sunlight
Bluebirds, house wrens, chickadees, tree swallows and house sparrows
these are some of the beautiful creatures that come forward 
to eat the bounty you have so lovingly prepared,  
in springtime...
Little snowdrops, flowering Quince, daffodils and so much more 
we shed our winter clothing and in sandals we are ready to explore 
with carefree walks along the shore, we are ready to adore 
every sweet day of sunshine, that comes our way.

Amen, Rose. Bring on the sunshine of spring. I have new neighbors in a young cedar tree. A pair of redbirds:) I can't waint until I see their little ones.
