Sing out long and loud
Feel the joy around
Spring is on the way
Dawning of the day
Dawning of the year
Daffies nearly here
Thrusting through the ground
No longer earthbound
Bluebells and snowdrops too
With crocuses coming through
From bulbs hidden in the soil
Life is on the boil
The rhythm of life is changing
Always re-arranging
Looking to the summer
For winter made us glummer.
Looking forward with hope
Rose tinted telescope
I can hardly wait
For now I just anticipate.
