The River's Secret

What do you see river as you wind your way?
You go twisting and turning where I wish I may.
Would you share the secrets around the bend?
Whisper them softly to the wind.
You saw the first wild flower in a bed of leaves,
And robins making nests among the trees,
A rabbit hopping in a playful mood,
And you heard a groundhog being wooed.
Tell me river what else did you see and hear?
Can it really be Spring is nearly here.
You say the trees and flowers are ready to unfold
in a burst of color, all brilliant and bold.
Then I'll join the bird in his merry tune
For ole man winter surely will be gone soon.
