POETRY CONTEST 2ND PLACE “The Return of Life”
The Return of Life
Written by Megan Edwards
Baby bears leave their hibernation
Mother birds build nests for the new generation
Orion bids us all goodbye
So Leo can dance along the moonlight sky
Trees fill with blossoms, leaves and berries
To honor the coming of the springtime fairies
Dead bushes and shrubs trade for blooming flowers
And February frost gives way to April showers
And just like last year, and the year before
Life begins again, once more
