Springtime
By Katie Gilstrap
Throw back the curtains
and open the door!
Springtime has come
and I want to explore!
and I want to explore!
The sunshine is out
and there’s so much to sniff.
With each gentle breeze,
I can capture a whiff
I can capture a whiff
of flowers and puddles
and grasses that sprawl.
My goal is to find them
and roll in them all!
I’ll lie on the ground
with my nose pointed high,
then welcome the spring
with a howl to the sky!
