Tall trees are swaying
In the breeze;
The leaves are dancing
With great ease.
The flowers blooming
Of every color,
And this because of
Nature's Mother.

Our Mother's laughter
Is the wind...
And when she dances
New life begins.
She brings the soft rain
And soon the flowers.
Her tall trees shall
Always tower.

First you're a hawk
flying in the sky...
then in a second;
that feeling quickly dies.

Then you're a fish
swimming in the sea...
watching out for sharks;
or people like you and me.

Then you're a starfish
reaching for the shore..
lost in your world;
hoping that there's more.

Then when you make it back
you're human once again...
until for the second time;
you jump,
fly
and swim.

Can You Feel Spring?

Springtime is in the air
you can see signs everywhere

flower buds are blooming
songs of birds are tuning

mothers teach their newborn young
that their lives have just begun

listen, listen, for the sweet sounds
music, it is all around

I feel so free now...or
is it me?

watch new animals tumble
then fumble...
smell flowers
see spring showers,

isn't it grand...
to hold spring in the palm of your hand?
