The long cold winter is melting away.
A single red bird was spotted today.
Through the mist the sun is peeking.
Squirrels are about and corn seeking.
New life has come to fields and woods.
Kids venture out in sweatshirts with hoods.
In just a few weeks the river will flow.
Blossoms on trees are starting to grow.
There’s still a chill in the spring time air.
Winter is gone but the memory is still there.
Summer is waiting a few months beyond.
To warm the air and meadow pond.
A gopher peers out from holes that he makes.
Spring time is when the whole world awakes.
