O, awaken my soul, here comes Spring
There are so many treasures to be found
What joys and delights this season will bring
Winters cold grip is softening
The changes can be felt all around
O, awaken my soul, here comes Spring
I feel my heart stirring and being to ring
With every beautiful new sound
What joys and delights this season will bring
Life surges forth in every living thing
There’s movement in the air and on the ground
O, awaken my soul, here comes Spring
I cannot wait until it’s in full swing
The effect on my mood is profound
What joys and delights this season will bring
The earth and my heart start to sing
As we are both spellbound
O, awaken my soul, here comes Spring
What joys and delights this season will bring

Oh thank you Radhika and I agree about the magic of spring. I thought adding audio would lift the words for the reader. I was uncertain about it, so I’m glad to hear it worked well.
