When I am under sweet spring's spell,
I'm like a child at Show and Tell.
I want to hold it in my hand,
To brag and shout, "Is it not grand?"
In other seasons I'm discreet;
I don't go skipping down the street.

The beauty of a springtime day
Takes all my dignity away.
I quite regress to my past youth.
I'm young again, and that's the truth.

Joyce:  I love this poem!  It makes me feel so much better about my bout of "spring giddiness" which I hope strikes any day now!

This is such a cute piece Joyce. That first line is a killer!! Even when I don't say it aloud...

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Joyce, this is so light and full of a joyous feeling...I love it! and I adore Spring!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
