In Spring We Are Young Again

by RodG

Spring Contest Winner 

In early Spring the daffodils
and flashy tulips lunge for light.
Magnolia blossoms 'bout to burst
stretch heavenward for something bright.

A robin skips across the lawn
in search of worms, some tasty bugs.
Two squirrels romping crazily
flee up a tree as if on drugs.

Yes, Spring's arrived, injected all
with zest for life, raw energy.
These creatures, plants revitalized
take on a new identity.

I feel a rapture surging through.
My legs would like to leap and run
just like that boy did way back when.
But no I can't! I'm eighty-one.
