Dirty fingernails
and dusty feet
A walk along our dirt road
Is a family treat
Yelps and laughter
Sounds of pure delight
The back and forth banter
Of a warm spring night
The thriving spirit
Of children’s frolic
Horse and foal
Alive in the paddock
Memories created
All negativity negated
THIS is living
This is spring living
In New England
