Spring promises forsythia <br />To grow hearty along the road, <br />A sufficient amount of rain and sunshine <br />For the sturdy lilac bushes to unfold. <br /> <br />Spring promises a panoramic view <br />Strewn with a carpet of emerald green, <br />And a variety of variegated yellow tulips, <br />The likes I have never seen. <br /> <br />Spring promises soothing breezes, <br />And a cloudless blue sky overhead, <br />Trees laden with pink and white blossoms, <br />And beds of flowers emerging to be scarlet red. <br /> <br />Spring promises an elaborate setting <br />In all her majesty and fuss. <br />We should never be disappointed <br />For these are nature's free gifts to us.<br /><br />Joseph T.
