The Music of Life

I hear life's music in the breeze and it fills me with anticipation as it rustles the trees. I smell the green grass when in Spring it grows, just another sign of how life flows. I feel the Summer sunshine upon my skin. I hear the sound of waves on the beach rolling in. The sand is wet and little sandcrabs scatter. They play with my toes and run when I move. It's great to feel free and in life's groove. The crysanthemums are blooming and I pick one to smell. "What a wonderful Autumn day", I to myself tell. Why are you sleeping? Come with me. Let's play in the leaves! Let's climb a tree! School is out. Let's sing and shout. Christmas is coming and Winter is calling. Let's make a snowman and slide down the hill. We'll drink hot chocolate if we get a chill. Let's dance and sing. Let the music of life ring! For Brian Strand's Springtime Contest Copyright: 2007 "All Rights Reserved"

You'll have to give me a pass on the tree climbing, Carole but a walk on the beach or playing in a pile of leaves sounds like fun. Love the poem!
