Spring is here, and has been here in Tampa, for the last few weeks. Tomorrow, though, is officially the first day of Spring. Of course, we welcome it, even though we had a relatively mild winter, as our gardening and outdoor activities can begin in earnest.
Our friends and family members up north, though, have not been as similarly blessed. For them, Spring still feels weeks away, and I suppose it is. To show our compassion and solidarity, I have this ode to spring, to share with all:
Ode To Spring
It snowed today
Again
Like yesterday
And once more
Snow tomorrow
A harsh winter
That's what they say
Colder than it's ever been
Snow like we've never seen
Spring... it will be late
But I will wait, for like fate
Spring always follows
Spring always comes
Spring has never failed me
Even under 6 feet of sorrow
No matter how long I burrow
Spring somehow always finds me
