The Time Between the Seasons

Winter is over the darkness the grey
I await anticipating the first Spring day
In-between for me ‘tis the season of joy
Snow drops and daffodils thrill the hoi polloi 
Hearing sweet birds as they sing in the Spring
Blackbirds and thrushes maybe a lapwing
Early each morn and the end of each day
Joyous for to hear their tuneful bouquet      
In-between seasons I'm so happy within              
Just like the birds I’m inspired to sing               
Winter is ending ~ Spring will soon begin

Such a beautiful piece Ann, taking us to forget winter and move is into spring. Spring is my favourite season too, it's nice and fresh and hasn't the full heat of summer. Hope all is well, blessings and hugs Gordon xx
