FIRST TULIP

The first tulip of the spring
Bloomed today!
From a collection called Monet,
My favorite impressionist.
My soul soared at its debut
As much as it did the first time
I beheld his Water Lilies!

The smell of spring is in the air
As is the hope it always seems to bring.
New things blossoming all around
New opportunities, new adventures
New dreams, new musings,
And most of all new beginnings!
