Spring is a wonderful time of renewal. There is so much to see and enjoy especially in nature.
Hibernation
The year was coming to an end,
The animals knew well
That it was time to hibernate
In cave or wood or dell.
A large supply of food was sought,
A store for wintry days
Of nuts and berries gathered,
Then hid from common gaze.
Bears and squirrels, others too,
All settled down to sleep
Wrapped in fallen leaves and moss,
Their hiding place to keep.
Perhaps midwinter they will snack
On goodies from their store,
And then they'll sleep away the hours
Till Spring returns once more.
Then waking up, they'll scratch and stretch
And with many mighty yawns,
They'll rouse themselves for days of fun
As the bright, new Springtime dawns.
