A poem to welcome in Spring
What springs in Spring is nature’s way of giving
The grass turns green the birds return to singing
Winter’s snow has melted all away
The warm bright sun is now the norm each day
What springs in Spring is more than just the flowers
That bud and bloom it seems like just in hours
The rain fills all the lakes rivers and streams
Fish are jumping as in an Angler’s dream
What springs in Spring we hope will last forever
A world that’s full of nature being clever
We have tested her in ways she cannot stand
After drawing out a perfect lesson plan
So if we want what springs in Spring returning
We must find ways to change what keeps occurring
Think before you cut down all those trees
Change that black fog into a cool clear breeze
Then Spring will spring because we proved we care
When Spring returns next year.
