The Bare Limbs On My Trees Have Awakened

The bare limbs on my trees have awakened

Written By Dean Masciarelli

The bare limbs on my trees have awakened 

From their deep sleep and all of my trees have 
finally started sprouting newly formed  leaves

And my hibiscus in the back yard
is full of purple white laced flowers 
scenting my yard like the garden of Eden

And all of my rose bushes have buds on them
which will blossom soon with beautiful flowers

And the crepe myrtles and the 
dog woods
and the Japanese cherry trees

Have all been welcomed additions
to this wonderful neighborhood

And soon the butterflies and the 
dragonflies will
return along with the honey bees

And my weeping willow will soon be dancing in the wind
which is always a joy to watch when the wind is blowing

Because it looks like an angel that has begun to spread 
out its vast wings

And I am grateful for all these beautiful things because 
I have lived to see another brand new season of spring

absolutely lovely write Dean, I am so longing for this miserable rain to go away and get a sunny day to walk in the spring air, no garden here , just a ton of trees out front but enough deer and wildlife to make up for no pretty flowers.
