The Eve of Spring

The air was still; not a sound was heard.
Then a breeze passed through; the bushes whispered.
The trees creaked from the new snow's burden,
As the Pastor preached his Easter sermon.
A deer trod through the light fluffy snow;
It drank from the spring as it began to flow.
The black-capped chickadee started to sing,
As the white tailed deer drank from the spring.
A rabbit hopped bravely in the snow,
Sensing danger from above it resolved to stay low.
The snow quietly began to melt,
And the fox walked gallantly in his warm winter pelt.
He sensed summer's warmth was near,
And finally realized that spring was here!
