As winter turns the corner <br />And spring is on the way <br />I wait with mounting happiness <br />To see what comes today. <br /> <br />I also love the cold days <br />With frost upon the sill <br />But something special happens <br />Once winter's had its fill. <br /> <br />The crocus buds are swollen <br />The daffodils sprout so tall <br />Something special happens <br />As spring time makes its call. <br /> <br />So get ready for the changes <br />That happen none too soon <br />When spring time rounds that corner <br />And flowers start to bloom!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/almost-spring/
