Spring

I always like spring
Best

Spring is a fresh start
It is a clean slate and a new beginning
It is also like the Rebirth
A bare oil canvas
Ready to be painted with the many colors of life

Spring stirs with the silent sounds of nature.
Its season’s greetings are the buzzing bees
The budding of the apple trees
The flowering of daffodils and chrysanthemums
As nature awakes from its slumber

Spring stands for
Picnics
Comfortable strolls in the park
For fourth quarter
The gateway to summer, to freedom

Springs means the return of the sparrow
Chirping
Singing sanguine songs of joy, harmony and virtue
Of birth and life
Of youth
And of Spring
