It’s Spring!
The pastures dead in winter live;
The grass and all the trees
Are shades of green – glorious green!
That ripple in the breeze.
Each tree is one grand blossomed bloom;
Green petal-leaves abound.
A carpet layer also laid
Fresh carpet for the ground
It’s spring! – the yellow, gold, and blue,
The purple, white and red!
It seems a rainbow river runs
Within earth’s riverbed.
It’s spring! It’s spring! New life springs forth;
It bubbles like a brook.
The colors burst into the world,
“At me! No, me! Just look!”
A pair of mated redbirds flash;
The little bluebells ring.
The hummingbirds are back to flit –
It’s spring! It’s spring! It’s spring!

It’s autumn here but our long drought has broken so all is green.
