~* A Walk In Spring *~

The smell of lilacs fills the air,
There are bouquets of flowers everywhere.
Daffodils and tulips sway to and fro,
So many shades of green starting to show.

I walk by a dog barking, “Open this gate!”
My parents aren’t coming home ‘til late.
I stop to pet a cat basking in the sun,
And laugh at children in the park having fun.

I spot two old men with stories to share,
Planting seeds where ground once was bare.
Their wives in straw hats tending the weeds,
Trying to fulfill their lives with need.

I feel so joyous at this world around,
Home I go with the spring happiness I found.
Breathing in the air of a fresh new spring,
Is there really any more glorious thing?
