I hear the rain, its pouring down
The raindrops splashing all around
The smell of spring is, oh, so sweet
With more to come, our daily treat.
This earth is parched and overcome
The winter’s been its old hum-drum
The spring is here for its short stay
Let’s make the most of every day !
Oh how I wish that I could be
The Christmas star upon your tree
I’d cover me with sparkle dust
And shimmer in a style august !
I’d shine and twinkle through the night
And glimmer in the early light
I’d hear the wishes that you made
Before it was to bed you’d laid
I’d gift to you a world so sweet
Filled with pure joy and hope complete !
Forgotten there upon the floor
Hair ribbons littered by the door
The smell of aftershave so sweet
It taints the taste of breakfast treat.
With crumpled socks all in a heap
Next to the sheets from last night’s sleep
A sorry mess that waits for care
Beside the dresser on the chair.
Because we have a mission here
That visits us just once a year
Our nation’s birth we’ll celebrate
No matter what we shan’t be late !
