The snow has all melted, the cold winds have gone,

spring is beginning here on the farm. 

The days have grown longer, and warmer too,

there are so many things we have been planning to do!

Spring is here and the time has come,

for being outside and having fun. 

The plants are all growing new leaves and flowers, 

soon it will be time for summer showers.

As I stood at my window and looked out at the tree’s,

all of a sudden I began to sneeze. 

The air was fresh and clean and new,

do those kinds of smells tickle your nose too?

The meadow was full now of flower’s growing,

soon the lawn would be long and it would be time for daddy to start mowing.

 The flowers were not big yet, they were still quite small,

we would have to be careful not to crush any at all. 

Then all of a sudden  I saw my ball,

when I jumped up I tripped on my shoelace, I began to fall. 

I picked up my ball and threw it into the air,

as it bounced off my head it ruffled my hair.

Bubble dragons come watch what I do,

I have a new trick to teach you. 

They fluttered their wings, they flew over to me –

they could not wait to see what it was about spring that made me so happy.

I put my head on the grass and curled into a ball,

the bubble dragons blew bubbles as they perched on the wall. 

They blew loads of bubbles, some big and some tiny,

they were popping on the grass all around me!

As I curled into a ball, my knee’s against my chest,

the bubble dragons laughed as I got tangled up in my vest.  

I pushed off with the tips of my toe’s,

I tucked in my head, so I would not hurt my nose.

Instead of rolling right over as I should have done,

I flopped onto my side laughing, this was such fun!

  Bubble dragons come along, come roll with me,

it will be more exciting if its not just me. 

The bubble dragons copied what I did and before we knew it,

they were rolling around too, there was nothing to it!

  Each time they rolled over, a stream of bubbles blew into the air,

they covered my clothes and wet my hair.

After a while we were dizzy and tired from all of this fun,

we sat on the blanket and rested in the sun. 

All of a sudden we saw a beautiful sight,

a butterfly fluttering in mid flight.  

We watched the butterfly as it flew past,

it was so beautiful I heard myself gasp. 

It looked so delicate and pretty too. 

I love long spring days, I bet you do too
