Spring Child--By Inge Wesdijk (Daginne Aignend)--The Netherlands

Spring Child

It's like a little dance

Swaying, swinging at the rhythm

of a playful Spring breeze

The pansies move fluently while

their laughing faces greet the sun

The cat stretches, rolls on her back

and winks with one eye as a sign

of a silent, joined contentment

I wish I could freeze these moments

in time, the relaxed laziness, the gaiety

of blended colors and fragrances.

I know I can't influence nature's

movements, but I will always stay

a child of Springtime
