When I see you there
in your new blue coat,
I feel that spring
may very soon float
into our valley
to warm us all,
to cheer us up
after months of cold
and venturing outside
if we’re feeling bold.
Yes I say it’s good
to have four seasons
but on reflection
and within reason.
I feel more heartened
just if it’s warm,
not many months
bringing many storms.
And so with the light
of some sunny bright
bulbs a–blooming
within my sight
I take heart and I feel
cheer
to think that springtime
is very near
and all around
in my fragrant garden
spirits rise to meet the sun
and blue grape hyacinths
cheer everyone.
