Velvet wings of brown, blue and ebon midnight hue
farfalla butterflies that soar close to magic colugos
spring is here hanging in with wonder, life renews
as the sun shines soft, from here to sweet Montego
Green lush leafy branches waving in the breeze
wood peckers, hummingbirds and columbidaes
monarchs, swallowtails, yellow painted ladies
winds of change arrive alongside warmer days
I sing me a tune that has a melody real sweet
reminding me of summers that came and went
I sing about the flowers growing in my suite
while strolling down a path of glorious wente
With a spring in my step I shuffle and dance
knowing I am more than ready for romance
