Springtime?

 

Springtime?

The bluebirds are eating from my feeder, and my garden flag is waving in the breeze,

Is it truly springtime, or is it just a tease?

The sun is shining brightly as the daffodils emerge,

Is it truly springtime or is it on the verge?

I’ve seen some playful butterflies and even bumblebees,

Is it truly springtime?  Please put my mind at ease,

Everything is greening out, my allergies tell me so,

I demand that spring has sprung, but heaven only knows,

In March, we may have inklings of all four seasons,

Warm then cold, then frost, then hot: we don’t understand the reasons,

Short pants or sweatshirt, what will it be?

Oh, in springtime, we can only wait and see!
