A Watery Sun
When the day starts off with cloudy skies and a watery look in the sun
We seem to know there be a fall of rain before the day is done.
Yet it is a truly welcome sight in the early days of sweet spring
Because we see the snow vanish before our eyes and that is a blessed thing.
For it is like a tender touch of a lovers hand that turns things green
And helps buds of hidden leaves grow until the whole leaf is seen.
When added with following days with the warming touch of the sun
We know that life is there and spring has at last begun.
A few days of warmth and a day of rain with temperatures quite high,
Makes snow vanish and grass grow green a pleasing sight to the eye.
There is one large resisting pile of snow reluctant to melt away
But I am sure that soon even that monster will go without delay.
Welcome spring with your warmth and gentle rain bring life and hope to this place
Who has for much too long worn winter’s cold unrelenting pure white face.
