Joyful Spring
Spring is blooming all around
Birds chirping, hear their sound
Dark mornings becoming light
Temperatures rising, sheer delight
Tilling soil and planting seeds
Gardening starts, the pulling of weeds
Lawns mowed, the smell of cut grass
Backyard mechanics with cans of gas
Outside chores once packed away
Back again so we could play
The wonderful smell of bar b que grills
Indoor cats on window sills
Small children building a fort
Porch sitting becomes a sport
Dogs barking near and far
Night time falls, gaze at a star
Anticipating what summer will bring
As we wind down from a joyful spring
