o spring

how do we love thee?

let us count the ways.

We love thee with every window thrown open wide

and toes poking towards the sun.

We love thee with exclamations of "This is the best day ever!"

with a bare heart

and bare legs.
we love thee with bubbles


bird races


colors bright


and discoveries


We love thee under a warm blazing sunset


while dining and resting at your celebratory fire


and with every ghostly (and dinosaur) tale.


We love you while we cuddle with friends as it gets very late


and we love you with quiet fireside grown-up talk at the last hour of your day.

Well met, Spring!
We love thee well.
