Springtime
The thaw of winter’s bitter coldSinging birds and moving water
The layers of clothes we wear in winter
Have now become a bother
Newly planted flowers and freshly manicured lawns
Rainy days and bright rays of sun seen through the curtains drawn
Ducks taking baths in nearby puddles and the return of leaves on trees
Days are longer, hearts are fonder, later is the dawn
Book club luncheons and afternoon teas
Buzzing bees and kites on a string
An urge to clean the house thoroughly
Brings the glorious beauty of Spring!
