Glad to see spring arrive
And glad to be alive
To see all nature renew
With beautiful colors to view
As trees put on a cloak of green
With all its hues and shade
Over hill and glade.

Flower buds begin to burst
Serving the heart athirst
With a generous drink of color
Bright and beautiful to gladden the heart
As spring awakens for a new start.

Spirits begin to lift
As a special gift
Spring gives everyone
With all the joy and fun
Of laughter and many a smile
From every adult and child.

Blossoms send their perfume
And lovers once again resume
Their pursuit of a mate
To share their delights
In springtime sunny and bright.
