Last week the pretty trees blossomed 
it felt like spring was in the air
Now it feels more like winter 
those fragile blooms scattered everywhere 

The sunshine brought out bright colours 
the butterflies, bees and flowers
Now the gloomy grey has returned
as we dodge harsh, wintry showers

------

If I could be a super hero
I would be the “Air of Spring” 
I’d sprinkle rays of hope and joy
on everyone and everything

I would chase away the storm clouds 
turn the sky a bright shade of blue 
The days would be ones to treasure 
the sun would shine on me and you 

I would use my superpower 
to blast away the troubles of the globe 
I would replace worries and woes 
with peace, love, happiness and hope 

The weather has such an effect 
on our bodies, hearts and minds
Springtime brings the perfect tonic 
for the well-being of humankind 

------

All the above sounds just perfect 
but I’m not sure it’s very fair
The horrific news from today 
has left me reeling with despair

So, if was granted superpowers
and…. just between me and you 
I’m not sure what I would do 
to those evil monsters…. you know who
