SPRING

Spring

just the faintest breezes from a sky clear blue
as the sun starts to slowly rise
a fresh beginning on a day still new
part of nature's early surprise

scents of newly turned earth in the morning air
as a farmer works there in his field
tilling the soil for it's time to prepare
for the abundance it's expected to yield

while along the streams and waterways
wildflowers are starting to grow
the quiet simple beauty of these days
make a wonderful nature show

budding trees provide leaves of green
their limbs majestically raised to the sky
providing the essence to keep our air clean
while clouds float slowly by

topping off a wonderful time of year
where tranquillity and joy's the thing
with their chirping songs of happiness
the birds in chorus sing

for changing seasons come to pass
and a newness they all bring
but the freshest, sweetest time of all
is a time simply known as Spring
