"Oh! The Great Outdoors"
Oh! the great outdoors.
A new season as come.
Mild breezes drift in
from southern oceans warmth.
Spring sends new birth with
its arrival.
Sun peeking through
the clouds.
Rays a little warmer than
the days before.
Green sprouts peeking
through their winter bed
anticipating the moment.
Naked trees reaching
for the light.
Seems a little more than
the days before.
Rain, instead of snow
now gives them nourishment
to help them grow.
Oh! The great outdoors.
Sparrows scurrying
to build their nests,
preparing for the new arrivals.
Soft earth to find
their prey.
Now easier than the
day before.
