Ode to Spring

by Karen Szklany Gault

You have returned to us at last!

With open arms and colorful clothes you greet us warmly.

Your fragrance sweetly fills our senses.

Your voice is filled with laughter.

The world celebrates your return!

We want to spend every moment with you.

Rich feasts are being prepared to celebrate your long-awaited arrival,

Garden parties to honor your generous gifts.
