Spring Sweet Dew

Summer’s dew tastes like peppers 

Fall’s dew tastes likes mushrooms

Winter’s dew tastes like mint

Yet loved more than most 

Is Spring’s special dew

 

Spring’s dew tastes like sugar

A special treat for birds and bees

To wake them up from Winter’s chill

 

The sweetness of the dew 

Was a gift from Mother Earth

To celebrate the birth

Of Spring

 

The other seasons don’t envy their ivy hued sibling

On the contrary 

They treasure them

 

Spring is the one that takes the dim sun from Winter’s room 

And closes the door to let them sleep

Spring is the one that cradles the sun 

As they walk to Summer’s door gradually growing brighter

Spring is the one that feeds the bugs

While Fall is busy painting leaves 

 

And when it’s time for Summer to take the sun from spring

Spring will smile and leave the door open so light will shine

And then they will crawl into Mother Earth’s lap to finally rest 

After being so sweet to the world
