March Comes In Like A Lion
March roars in, a fierce lion bold,
Upon the waning winter's cold.
Its mane of wind, untamed and wild,
Whispers tales to every child.
Of springtime's birth just weeks away,
Where flowers bloom and children play.
With paws of frost and breath of chill,
It prowls the woods, and roams the hill.
Yet in its roar, there's a promise too,
Of gentle skies, a softer hue.
For though it starts with bluster, fierce,
Its heart of gold will soon pierce.
The lion's roar grows soft and mild,
As March advances, meek and beguiled.
With lamb-like steps, it treads at last,
Into the warmth of springtime cast.
So let us welcome, with open eyes,
The lion's lesson, in disguise.
