Notes About The Poem

Welcome Spring

The winters gone and spring is here
Brighter days that bring us good cheer
Buds on trees now starting to show
The lawns are growing soon to mow.

Yellow daffodils'  everywhere 
Crocuses', snow drops here and there
New born lambs are a joy to see
Run about in fields playfully.

High in the trees the song birds sing
Fanfare for the arrival of spring
It is an uplifting time of year
So do embrace it whilst it's here .
