Spring Beckons

What a year it has been?
The worst world has seen?
No, just a minor blip, a slow down,
No reason to be so sad and frown.

Swallows will be here soon,
Song birds singing new tune,
The geese will come in flocks,
Forsythias growing in every block.
Soon, everywhere will be filled with blossoms,
Flowers, song birds, love, life, that is awesome.
Yes, we can feel love in the air,
Forget your worries and care.
Feel the joy in your soul and heart,
Nothing can keep true lovers apart.

Revel at the morning dew,
Cherish the love that is true.
Let your heart get giddy with joy,
Go along with nature and it ploy.
Spring beckons and let us heed,
Love, friendship is all we need.

A new miracle is unfolding now,
It is time to plan, plant and plow.
Let’s make it a wonderful year.
Only laughter, elation and no tear.
Make it so by being generous and kind,
Thus, happiness, peace you will find.
Sing a happy song, hold hand and kiss.
A chance like this you can not miss.

With love, good friends and spring,
You will never need another thing.
