March 20th (Spring- 2013), Can't Come Soon Enough !

Longing For Spring

Once a day and sometimes more

I look out my day dream door

To see if spring is out there yet

I'm really anxious, but mustn't fret.

I see the snow a melting down

and lots of mud and  slush around.

I know the grass will surely sprout

and birds and flowers will come about.

But why oh why does it take so long ?

I'm sure the calender can't be wrong.

Sunshine fills my heart with cheer

I wish that spring were really here.

Soon mother nature will sound the alarm

Wake up! , get dressed, turn on your charm.

Winter's gloom has gone its way

It's Spring, It's Spring, Oh Happy Day !

- Edna T. Helberg
