Spring I live in a land where you grow fine webbed feet The natives are born that way feeling they’re neat October to May when the clouds have no end It gets kinda somber; you go ‘round the bend The rain drips on down from a heavenly spout The folks hide at home and won’t even come out But solstice has passed and the days you find lighten Wherever you go, you see moods start to brighten The buds of the crocus bespeak a new year And daffodils follow; with each eager spear The tulips announce with a gaudiness sassy That glorious spring brings its act so classy. A sunbreak came through with its dappling sheen. One night as I strolled out to savor the scene Of Japanese maples with blossoms so pink There’s nothing like rebirth of nature I think Magnolia flowers are hung out in bloom I wish I could bring them all home to my room Aromas of winter grass cut while there’s time While kids roll their skateboards and turn on a dime There’s something ‘bout Spring that I simply can’t tell But only convey like I’m under a spell The great book of time is now turning a page I’m happy to be here; I would pay any wage This cycle of time gives me wisdom with luck I know that someday ‘twill be me God will pluck But that will be fine; with my harp I will sing Of beautiful, wondrous and glorious Spring |

Love this spring song Ken! It's finally here and I'm smiling! There certainly is something about it.. sort of like a spell we are consummed by. And I have a Magnolia which I can't wait to see blossom. ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ ~ I've loved you forever, in lifetimes before ~ |

To "inked" and E, you pleasure me Without you "Angels" where'd I be Your words so kind ring subtlely I keep faith in my writing, see? Much thanks to all. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light [This message has been edited by kayjay (03-21-2003 01:40 PM).] |

The buds of the crocus bespeak a new year And daffodils follow; with each eager spear The tulips announce with a gaudiness sassy That glorious spring brings its act so classy. ~*~ Not quite sure why, KayJay, our guy... but this one line smiles, makes me sigh... I want to let loose the chains of work... to act foolish, perhaps a little berserk... Thank you kayjay... |
