Joy of Life

I sit and watch delightedly
the swallows as they swoop
knowing now spring is here

soft breezes from the lake
filter through my senses
as I awaken so does the earth

the promise of spring a reality
as buds blossom into life
so does my soul reawake

hope returns full throttle
flooding me with joy
delighted I turn to the sun

letting in its golden rays
embracing that healing warmth
welcoming the world back in
