Spring Is In The Air
You can always tell when spring is near
You can smell the crisp cleanness of the air
The winter has removed its blanket of snow
Preparing the ground for new seeds to grow
Leaving the cast of browns and grays
Soon mother nature will cast its colorful gaze
Little sprouts of green will soon appear
Budding flowers are oh so near
The birds start chirping in utter delight
The squirrels chase each other in a furious flight
Oh, how I love all the new beginnings
The washing away of all the old endings
There is newness everywhere
In my heart and in the air
Soon people come out to gaze
At all the loveliness Mother Nature has made
Kids break free from their long winter inside
They run and play all bright eyed
Exploring their world in a curious way
Oh, how I looked forward to this new day
So, let joy burst forth like the flowers in the spring
Just like the birds who love to sing
Break free from that wintery womb
It’s time to live your life in full bloom!
