The first day of spring

Oh my goodness I am such a happy thing
as I smile coz soon it is the first day of spring
Farewell winter with your weather of uncertainty  
I will welcome another season full of newborn creativity
Goodbye to getting up in the darkness with short spells of sunlight
feeling fedup from staying indoors with longer hours at night

Hooray I will jaunt my old haunts and track my trails from last year
with that big old currant bun shining way up high with cheer
I have missed seeing the colours of the countryside with nature at it’s very best when the blossoms will bloom again after winter’s weary rest
Everything and everybody feels so much better in the spring
listening to buzzy bees and watching birds on the wing

I for one cannot wait to see the pretty meadowland flowers
as I sit amongst the clover soaking up the sun for hours
with my little picnic in my rucksack and a flask of tea
What more could one ever wish for than Mother Nature’s company
There is no loneliness listening to the birds and bees 
as the whispers of whistling winds blows gently thru the tall oak trees
