Chirping birds that fly and play

Time change makes a longer day

Green grass shoots and flowers bloom

No more winters gloom and doom



Squirrels and bees and buds on trees

Sunny days with gentle breeze

Smell the blooms and fresh cut grass

Joy rushing in, its spring at last



Carpenter bees fly around

New growth covers the once cold ground

Rainey days replenish the land

The master’s creation, so beautiful, so grand



Spring time evenings, tranquil and still

Sunsets slowly over the hill

Frogs and crickets sing a song

The owl and whippoorwill sing along



I lay my head down in my bed

Spring time memories in my head

I fold my hands and begin to pray

I thank my God for another day
