The warmer days are so uplifting.

*

The wind blew gently through the trees

Which swayed and bowed in the welcome breeze.

The winter’s cobwebs freed from minds

As weary bodies at last unwind.

*

Golden daffodils in fields do thrive,

A sure sign nature has come alive.

And in the distance a stream flows past

Welcoming the end of the wintery blasts.

*

Everywhere the land feels fresh and new,

The lambs in the fields and the skies of blue.

The dormant roses to warm air awake

As glistening dewdrops from leaves they shake.

*

I rise up early and throw windows out wide

Then with a lightened heart I venture outside,

And take in the air of a fresh spring day

So grateful for the warmth that is on its way.
