​blog: You'll Never Be Quite the Same

March forth! a poem

3/4/2020

Picture
The snow is low
And starting to slow;
The temperature’s rising so flowers will grow.
 
March forth!
March forth!
Old winter is heading back north!
 
My face is pale,
And my muscles are frail;
Been biding in hiding – a somnolent snail.
 
March forth!
March forth!
Old winter is heading back north!
 
Rise up from bed;
Put awake in your head;
The birds are a’singing; the cardinals are red.
 
March forth!
March forth!
Old winter is heading back north!
 
Let’s play today
And shout a hooray,
A spring in your step as you whistle away.
 
March forth!
March forth!
Old winter is heading back north!
 
The skies are fair;
There’s hope in the air;
We’ll tackle our troubles with nary a care.
 
March forth!
March forth!
Old winter is heading back north!
