Ode to Spring

Spring, oh Spring
We looked for you,
About the cracked earth
Lacking any form of dew.

We watched the hustle
Of flowers being bought,
The long lines of pallets
And containers and pots.

We laughed when we saw
Neighbors planting away,
Watering through the nights
And fertilizing by day.

We warmed our faces
In the bright new sun,
Leaving our houses
To go have some fun.

Spring, oh Spring
Are you finally here?
Just look outside,
Spring has now appeared!

Hi Melissa!! Crazy I know, but I am kinda jealous. The snow looks so pretty. We hardly ever get it here in the big-D.
Wish I could hug your neck, your kids are so grown up.

Did you write that? Very good. At least you aren't in a blizzard!:)
