NATURE'S PARADE

The beginning of Spring....when soft winds blow,
Across the deep, white carpet, of Winter's snow!
A few, grey, stratus clouds hovering around,
Threatening to dump more snow, on the ground!
My footprints, in the crooked path are going!
Signs of Spring arriving are quickly showing!
All thoughts of Winter will soon be gone,
The world is ready, for Spring's new song!
Like an eager orchestra ready to command!
Spring's harmonious notes float, across the land!
Each day, new signs of life....REBORN!
The blossoms on shrubs and trees will adorn!
The CIRCLE OF LIFE goes on each year,
With seasonal blessings and welcome cheer!
NATURE'S PARADE, that is ever-changing!
A spectacular performance, of rearranging!
It's time to houseclean and work in the yard!
It's time to refurbish, as well as discard!
Like NATURE, I must change and grow.....
So many new things, to do and know!!
Now, I wonder if NATURE makes a list?
Or..... is it just a case, of "hit and miss"?
 I am sure, that there must be an extensive plan,
Meant to surprise and inspire both maid and man!
NATURE'S PARADE....so special...so very neat!
It always sweeps me, off my feet!!
