Lyrical poem accompanied by dreamy, sun-drenched illustrations in a children's picure book or handsome coffee table book. Poem is calming and comforting to young and old alike.
"The days are getting warmer, but there's still a faint chill
Rain has painted emerald every borough, tree and hill
Petals waft like snowflakes onto arbors and fronds
Tadpoles wriggle mightily in shady, lazy ponds
Daffodils poke their heads up, then gaze at their feet
Tulips stand in glory and won't admit defeat
Ducks quack their welcome to their newly hatched chicks
Egret, cormorant and swan add their chorus to the mix
Fawns take their first steps under Doe's watchful eye
Fledglings spread their wings and learn how to fly
The sweet smell of hyacinth competes with fresh mown lawn
Too soon, daylight hours will lengthen and Spring will have gone."
