hello spring, goodbye winter ( a poem )

   Here is a fun poem I recently composed in tribute to the arrival of spring!! Right now it is really sunny and warm out; an absolutely beautiful spring day! Gotta' love it!

  Hello Spring, Goodbye Winter!

Winter is going away for another year,
And spring is rushing in to take it's place.

Out with the cold winds and the snow,
In with pleasant breezes and spring showers!

Goodbye snow boots and big winter coats,
Hello to rubber boots and light spring jackets.

Away with the ice and snow,
Here comes the water puddles and mud!

No more snowy boots making water messes,
It's now mud being carried in that covers my floor.

No more skiing and sledding,
snowmen or snow ball fights,
Now it's bike riding and long walks,
mud pies and pretty sights.

It's goodbye to waking up in the dark,
and eating supper by artificial light.
Hello to sun shining in my bedroom window way to early in the morn.,
and going to bed well before darkness settles in around us.

Take off the plastic that covers the windows,
No need to keep everything closed up and sealed tight,
time to let in the fresh air, the warmth and sun,
and the pleasant sounds of  chirping birds.

We are oh so happy that spring is finally,
though we'll certainly miss all the fun of winter.
But we know that this far North summers are short and sweet,
and winter will come again soon enough.




Yes, goodbye winter, I am more than ready for spring and summer!

Hope you enjoyed my silly poem of spring. Though most of the things I wrote about are already gone for the year, like mud-puddels made from melting snow, and mud from rubber boots being tracked in the house. That part of spring is already gone and done. Of course unless we get alot of rain.

 Our 125 little chicks are here and doing very well. The children love helping to feed and care for them.
  We have been planting already, at least the early things ( the vegetables that won't be harmed by frost ).
Still waiting on our strawberry plants to arrive though.
  Hoping your spring and everything that goes with it is going well for you.

 Until next time,
In Him,
Mae
