Oh how I’ve yearned
This winter long
To hear the birds
And feel the sun
But winter seems
Endless this year
We need some warmth
To bring us cheer
I felt the sun
Upon my skin
Today, it must be
A sign of spring
But don’t speak too soon
‘Cos as darkness comes
The temperature
Again will plunge
Be patient for a while
They say
Another month
And it is May
When we can say
At last it’s here
Cast off our coats
And raise a cheer.....hopefully!
