Ode to Spring

Spring break is here but where are you?

I hope you haven't come down with the flu!

I have a week to sleep in and I'm ready to play

Will you send the sun our way today?

The Cardinal in our tree tells me you're near, 

but the weather's predicting snow, I fear.

I've cleaned the house and I'm ready to plant

But the Earth is still frozen so digging I can't.

I'll try to be patient, and still wear my coat

 I'll accessorize it with my new scripture tote.

And I'll start on my list of things to do

I think I might paint our bedroom sky blue.

And if I have time and you haven't yet come

I'll make this spring quilt as a gift of welcome.

I must now say ado, before my friends think I've cracked.

but I'll say it once more hurry up and welcome back.
