First Day Of Spring
















Picture by Bill

Flowers blooming, soft rain falling
buds on tree stems unfolding
bringing cherry blossoms to Washington D.C.
while butterflies emerge from their cocoons.

Daylight savings postponing nightfall
birds chirping to celebrate the dawn
Lent will soon be over with Easter
coming around the corner.

New births everywhere:
lambs, and chicks, and baby calves,
winter’s infants learning to crawl
new life with fresh beginnings

spring cleaning, tossing out winter’s cold
opening windows, letting in the light
from Canada to Mexico
let Springtime begin.
