Wake up ! Wake up !
Hurrah ! Spring is here
When the cold shadows of Winter are gone,
With wide-open eyes from now on,
Invite the soft sunlight in,
To stir the soul asleep deep within.
Stretch out your hands. Touch with finger tips
The beauty of the flowers, where the honeybee sips.
Look around at the breath-taking view.
Nature is growing as splendour for you !
Take its hand gently. Smile into its eyes.
Turn to the East. Drink in the sunrise.
Wrap your arms around nature
To make its heart sing.
Whisper to it softly,
It is Spring !
It is Spring !
It is Spring !

The Joys of Spring
The season of Spring holds promise of longer, brighter days. Although there will still be chilly days for a while, it is only temporary. Warmer, sunnier days lie ahead.
How quickly the gardens transform after the snow has all melted away ! It is amazing how many plants survive under the snowy winter blanket. Days warm up and with April showers, green plants and flowers shoots appear almost overnight it seems. The trees start to grow their new leaves. Animals and birds return to the garden.
