Twas the Beginning of Spring

Twas the beginning of spring
And all through the yard
Were little green leaves
Pushing up through the soil.

We unboxed the shorts and tshirts for all
We hung up the hammock
And reconstructed the porch table.

We found a good branch for the bird feeder, which
Had been there less than thirty minutes
When small reddish birds were picking a the seeds
And Sam and I sat watching on our knees.

Sam dug up some dirt
For the crocuses' health
And sprinkled it gently back on the earth.


BE and Sam happy in the yard.
