SPRING IS . . .
Spring is when your little girl wears pinafores,
When hopes are reborn and the rent is paid on time.

Spring is feeling ten feet tall and brand new,
A fairyland of green-on-green where all things are possible.
(I wrote this in 1966 when my little girl was almost 5 years old.)

Very sweet--and the illustration matches perfectly.
I love pinafores. And I love little girls looking like little girls, not miniature teens as so many do today.
That is so very sweet, thank you for sharing it with us.
Very "Hallmark"...would be nice in a card :)
How sweet! I wore pinafores all through my childhood; made by my mom in organdy and trimmed with rickrack.
A sweet and perfec poem. I had pinafores and I made some for my daughters when they were little.
Lovely!
You certainly captured the essence of spring. And here's wishing you a very happy one!
Very nice. I like that. It's much nicer than ...
'Spring is sprung.
The grass is ris.
I wonder where the birdies is ?'

"A fairy land of green-on-green when all things are possible." Wonderful, Ginny.
I used to adore pinafores.
Sweet poem.
I can still remember some of those crazy easter bonnets we used to wear! This is such a sweet poem.
