Ode to Springtime

I’m thankful for the springtime
And how it brings our garden to life.

For the morning scent of eucalyptus,
The dew upon the grass,
And the warmth of country nights.

For afternoon sun showers
Drifting across freshly cut lawns,

And for the vibrant colours of flowers
That make me cherish the season more.

The songs of busy insects
And brightly coloured birds
Fill the air with gentle music.

And the sounds of springtime in the country
Are the finest I have ever heard.
