“Spring” by Maggie Seal

The winter lasts so long.
Nothing more than just plodding along.
I rarely desire to sing your song.
Then, with the blink of an eye,
the sky is blue again,
the wind has calmed.
Ah, yes spring, you are so welcome here!  
I hold you so dear.
Oh, to be held in that blessed sphere.
You bring renewal, you bring peace.
You make those hopeless, cold days cease .
You bring reason to sing,
yes, you, my beloved spring.
But you leave as quickly as you come.
Now I will be held under the summer’s sun.
