"Welcome, Spring!"

Welcome, spring!
By: Beth Baber

Laying in the cool, crisp grass,
Sun’s warmth caresses your body
Wind rustles your hair
Whispers spring promises in your ear
Release.

Smell the excitement, new beginnings.
Heart skips a beat.
Hear the plants growing, stretching their leaves to greet the sun.
Happiness seeps through your skin,
And flows to your thoughts
Calm.

A bead of sweat slides down your back.
Hot sun has come out to gives salutations.
Cold drink refreshes.
Smell of fresh cut grass fills the air.
Breathe.

All the animals awake,
To stretch their weary bones.
A butterfly lands on your arm.
Open your eyes,
A Creepy Spider!
Run!
