My Mother's Poem (3)

Rating: 5.0

The Coming of Spring

After weary winter days,
We can see the signs of spring.
The bright sun warms us with its rays
That softly round us fling.

The flowers show their pretty heads
Of yellow, blue and white,
Though warm and snugly in their beds
They slept through winter's night.

The squirrels peep out from every nook
And jump and frisk about,
Next comes the sound of trickling brook
Turning in and out.

The leaves again make green the trees,
The birds so sweetly sing.
The butterfly floats upon a breeze,
'Tis the coming of the spring.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem was written by my mother when she was only ten years old. I had forgotten that I had a copy of it, but my wife found it today. She also wrote one other poem when she was ten. Both poems were published in magazines at the time. I will be posting the other poem in a few days.

Should Mom be proud of her son or the son proud of his Mom at this point? (Rhetoric question) , lol. Great poem that depicts the beauty of nature and its renaissance.

Honestly, this poem seems like a better poem to me than some of my own poetry! She was talented at ten!
