The joy of walking back and forth to work is the simple pleasure of each day.  Having started in the middle of winter, the arrival of spring is especially enjoyable.

Springing For Joy

The days grow longer as we go,
The snow is going fast.
I have to say I won’t be sad,
To see this winter past.

There is some green upon my lawn,
A robin in my tree.
And any day the buds will swell,
Their leaves soon bursting free.

The mud quite soon will turn to grass,
And flowers boom and grow.
The season slowly drains away,
Our mem’ry of the snow.

See people walking in the park,
You’ve not seen since the fall.
The dogs who’ve been indoors for months,
Respond to nature’s call.

The honking of the geese above,
Now draws us out the door.
With Spring now here each day ahead,
Just promises us more.

Cheers, Winston
