The Earth Is Waking

by Shirley Munafo
(Cincinnati, Ohio)

The earth is waking after a long winter snooze
She'll wear her new garments as we wear our new shoes

Daffodils sprouting and tulips galore.
Enjoying the rain as it taps at our door

Chirping and peeping to be heard in the morn
Our spirits are lifted as a new Spring is born.
