The Splendor of Spring
Winter leaves, taking my worries with it
The now sunny mornings lift up my spirit
I say goodbye to the despondent mornings
No dismal fog that creeps in without a warning
I feel the rays of the bright sun beaming
It puts me into a state of dreaming
The new buds sway to the light breeze
I suddenly feel my heart is at ease
I see the first blossoms of the white mulberry
Blooming, dancing, prancing, carefree
The day grows longer, more time to admire all that grows
I patiently wait for the moon and its glow
Once the sun sets I stare up at the glistening stars
Longing to touch them from afar
I head inside as my mother is calling
Whispering goodnight as night is falling
