It’s a beautiful time, it’s spring, it’s May
Warm wind has blown the clouds away.
Mother Nature shows her gift
the word to paint, the moods to lift.
**
Her meadows and heathens, oh we are keen
seeing them radiate in healthiest green;
sometimes we see, like their lilac head cower
the delicate bloom of a cuckoo-flower.
**
Nature reflects the sunbeam’s mellow
by coloring the daffodil in most luscious yellow.
Tulips are blooming in pink, red and white
in sunshine, and purple it’s a beautiful sight!
**
The pink and white lyre-flower catches our eye
Forget-me-not and lilies-of-the-valley seem to bloom shy.
The strong red of the corn poppy, it seems to sing
while there are so many colors of peony dancing the swing.
**
Nature provides us with the most beautiful range
of colors to enjoy, to impress, to accept, but not change.
It’s spring time, energy, happiness, vivid life and a smile
given by nature, with talent, with grace, and most, with style.
