Song for Spring

‘Wake up!’ beamed the begonia to the bee
Spring’s here at last - come!
Look and see!
And the daffodils waved
And the tulips bowed
And the bee buzzed and danced
To this magical, Spring-time scene.
 
Out peeps the squirrel from his Winter’s sleep
Soon to be a butterfly
The chrysalis shall be,
Dancing, whirling amongst the chatter
Baby robins in their nest
Food from their mother
They’re all a clatter.
 
Warmth on the face
Eyes alight
Spring is here
Beckoning all that is new
And fresh and bright.
 
And the stem of the rose
Pushes her face to the sun
Promising petals of hope
For a world renewed
Woken up
From a Winter’s dream.
