Cheerfulness

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.
