Only ten degrees above freezing
But it's enough
Can you feel
The winter leaving?

No more snow
Or frost-bitten toes
To plague short-lived days

The sunlight plays
A little longer every night
And rises a littler earlier

The seasons change
Rapidly and unforeseen

Wake up one morning
To the warm gusts of spring
She's blowing in
Slow and steady at times
Fast and unpredictable at others

No matter how perplexing
The weather becomes
It manages to warm the soul

Even on icy cold mornings
At least it's ten degrees above freezing
