A CHEERY MAY

Nature is back in vogue
Spirits lifted we are aglow
Pleasant warm sunny days
Raising hopes chasing gloom away.

Thoughts of graduation and proms
Of partners, dancing, dates and love
Plans for life to go on, some long for
Happy engagements or wedding plans.

May, a wonderful prognosticator
Changing moods, opening doors
Lifting spirits, enticing thoughts
For all who are romantically inclined.

With Nature’s prodding of
Clean air and budding blooms
A fresh landscape of green
Leading us to new hopes and dreams.
