Let us open our pale eyes to the sun

The whole world readies itself in anticipation of beautiful things. 

The sky sends down its sunny beams of joy 
Revealing to us a green oasis
Finally released from winter's icy grasp. 

The appointment might be late, 
But it's finally here. 

After waiting in long lines of snow and slush, 
And enduring gray sky after gray sky, 

We experience the ultimate renewal 

We experience spring.
