The spring rain begins to fall
And washes the sun away.
The warm water dives to the ground,
Clings to leaves, wishing to stay.
As the sun fights for its rightful place
Melting away clouds of gray.
Soft breezes help chase them off
The clear, perfect skies of May.
Hearts leap, for summer is near
Far away from December sleighs.
Sunlight shines off the ocean,
Glimmers on the sand and lazed bay.
Green grass basks below,
And above, a rainbow.

&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
