Analysis of Spring
Before the sunrise Bird songs ring
Heralding the rites of spring
Daffodils bloom on the berm
Frog songs from the pond confirm
The rebirth process once again
Begins the cycle without end
New calf leans on mama’s flank
Nuzzling for it’s breakfast drink
And I, within my infant soul
Rejoice in youth though I grow old.
