From some far celestial shore Spring has returned once more, Giving sunshine and blue skies As spring opens her green eyes. Sunbeams dance over the fields As winter stubbornly yields, Over budding forested meadows Brightness clears gray shadows. Wildflowers scattering the plains Enriched by winter rains, Paint brilliant colors to be seen Within the fields of green. Once fields of browns and gold Are speckled with colors bold, Throughout lush greening grass Colorful blooms openly sass. Yellow daffodils rise in warm sun Opening cheery buds one by one As they lend beauty far and wide Brightly splashing the countryside. Where the rambling river rushes Between huckleberry bushes Thrushes are building their nest, Fussing nosily at robin redbreast. Wild canaries in treetops gather, Chirping in the sunny weather As happy cows in the meadow bawl Answering the crows pesky caw. Frogs croak and the crocus grows And dawn sunrise fairly glows, Late sunset fires up the violet sky As first signals of spring slip by. The enchanted season has arrived Winter's hardships survived, Welcome spring, oh glorious days, You bring pleasure in so many ways. ©Written by: Kenneth J.
