With winter and Co-Vid
All creeping behind,
We’re emerging daily
With Spring in mind.
The calendar reveals
April is before us now.
It’s “Write a poem month,”
So I’ll begin somehow.
It’s such an awakening
After all the blight
To hear the birds singing
And to feel the sunlight.
I know some gave up resolutions
They did make;
But there are plenty of hours
For some to retake.
It’s time to be kind to yourself
And to others, too.
Spring can be a wonderful
Outlet for you.
Look around each day
As the moments go on
Miracles you’ll see
If you get off your phone.
Take time to say
A kind word or two.
Lend a hand
To more than a few.
If nothing works, a smile shared
Will make someone’s day
Even if not a word
You do say.
So get busy; go ahead;
The limit is the skies
You’ll see miracles come
Right before your eyes!
