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 . Written 23 March 2019 For Spring is in the air contest Sponsored by Emile Pinet.
