THE SEASON OF NEWNESS
Fresh green grass has carpeted the hills
Baby birds flap out of their nests for the first time
On slender stalks popping their heads out are daffodils
Nature is ready for its primetime showtime.
Squirrels scurry out from their homes in the trees
Rivers begin gurgling and bubbling once again
Bluebells in the woods nod their heads in the breeze
Gently falls spring’s refreshing rain.
