Mother Winter and Lady Spring Mother Winter's breath brings cold air, thus causing despair, one's body can only bare. Oh how I yearn for Lady Spring to return! I dream of buds of green, Buzzing of busy bees, Makes me weak in the knees. bubbling streams. Fragrant scent of baby's breath, Happy melodies of Chickadee Happy glee of kids at play, All through the day. I wish for Lady Spring to stay! Mother Winter can go away!
