Spring is on the way

Spring is on the Way

When Spring appears, there’s no more showers
as Cuckoo arrives to clear its throat,
Warm earth brings forth awaited flowers
in once dark places, so remote
Which now light up with daffodils
down in the valleys, on the hills
Rustling new leaves of nearby trees
now filled with birds singing their song
They’ve not been here all winter long
yet settle back with greatest ease.

The Lilacs of purple, white and blue
hiding among the heart shaped leaves,
Bluebells peep out flowering anew
through skeleton leaves it interweaves,
The spikes of the crocus poking out
to grow alone, not tall but stout,
Small hungry beak pops up from nest
with snow long gone, no more the frost
return of foliage once thought lost
Spring is now back looking it’s best.

Hi, I am a grandfather of four beautiful Grandchildren, I have one son and three daughters, We lost Vickie to Cancer in December 2013, she was 23 years old, whoever said time heals haven't lost a child. My profile picture is of Vickie and I haven't changed it since she died, I have a wonderful loving wife without whom I would not have made it through. My escape is writing poetry, I have had five published to date, I now have two books published 'World War One In Verse' is available on Amazon books and 'Poetry From The Heart' is available on Amazon or Feed a Read, just enter the title and my name Eric Harvey. If you love the 50's, 60.s and 70's my new book of poems will take you back to those days, 'A Poetic Trip Along Memory Lane' will jog your memories of bygone days.
