Springtime Frolic
Green meadows, bright and wide,
Young lambs leap at the side.
Tender grass beneath their feet,
Spring's sun feels warmly sweet.
Cool breezes, playful chase,
Woolly bodies, joyful grace.
Skipping hearts, light and free,
In the bloom, they dance with glee.
Tiny noses sniff the air,
Soft bleats echo, here and there.
Shadows stretch as day grows long,
Fields resound with cheerful song.
Nature's laugh in every jump,
Lambs in spring, their spirits plump.
Under skies so crisply blue,
Life begins again, anew.

Lambs in Spring’s Light
Lambs in fields, so light and fair,
New sun kisses the crisp spring air.
Gamboling on meadows without a care.
Small tails wiggle with each bound,
In lively leaps, their joy is found.
Lambs in fields, so light and fair.
Chasing each other 'round and 'round,
Laughter and bleats are the only sound.
Gamboling on meadows without a care.
Under the willows, they gather to share,
Soft grass as their sumptuous fare.
Lambs in fields, so light and fair.
As dusk falls, they pair by pair,
Settle beneath the sky's soft glare.
Gamboling on meadows without a care.
Through spring's canvas, they declare,
Life's simple joys are best to wear.
Lambs in fields, so light and fair,
Gamboling on meadows without a care.
