A perfect life in the spring is where I want to be,

         Because most of the year has been rain, snow and misery 

Where, once, snow laid on barren trees

         Recently, a red cardinal could be seen

The sun is beginning to be seen through the cloud ceiling,

         And there he beams, smiling upon Wheeling!

Soon the cold walks will turn into sunny jogs,

        And too, will the winter fog clear away for spring’s song

So rejoice in the fact that the cold days will soon cease,

       So that the Equinox can bring you inner peace 

While I sure know that in the shadow of winter, life can seem tough 

        It’s important to know that you are enough 

Spring is a good time to reflect – not on if you’re getting fatter,

        But to realise that your life does matter

So enjoy what the spring has to offer, and live in the moment – don’t think what is near

        As the winter will soon come back again next year.
