Is This an Ode to Spring?

To Spring

Oh, Spring, now I ask, have you finally sprung?
Or are we so expectant, hung…
Out to dry? (As the Saying goes),
By Winter winds, and wet Spring snows?

Warm the days! Now shine, the sun!
Encourage outdooring, for work and fun;
Rake those leaves! Say, scratch that soil!
Recover from Winter? – well, that’s no toil!

Snow on the lawn, now diminishing,
As soils soon warm, anticipating
The day when seeds drop in the ground
And die, that colors may pop, all around!

Vistas recover, and leaves will be seen,
Brown soon transformed, to bright Springy green!
Oh Spring, you’re a wonderful time of year,
For God made you, and to Him you’ll adhere!
