I am awoken by the sun,
And feel fresh and new.
I stretch out my limbs,
Can it be that I grew?

I have my feet firmly,
Planted in the ground.
I’ll continue to flourish,
Without making a sound.

I can feel myself age,
My hair is thinning.
Perhaps it is time for
A new beginning.

No longer in my prime,
Fragile and bare.
I fall into winter’s sleep,
Only to awake in spring air.

The earth is warm and so am I.
Spring is here in all its glory.
Snow is gone and the ground is dry.
The earth is warm and so am I.
Out of hibernation the birds fly.
Another season, another story.
The earth is warm and so am I.
Spring is here in all its glory.
