Lady Spring

She waltzes on a meadow

Dressed in a beautiful gown

Wearing a floral crown.

Her sweetheart,

The kind version of Jack Frost

Gently holds her dainty hands

As they gracefully move on the fresh grass

Like two swans on the surface of a crystal lake.

Beautiful snowdrops popped their little heads

From the cold soil to announce the fair lady’s arrival.

Everyone awakens from their long slumber

To stretch their legs, paws and wings.

Nature plays her song along with the songbirds

While everyone gathers around to celebrate.

As the young couple daces

They began to express their feelings

Ending with an innocent kiss.

Oh come, oh come, Lady Spring!

Bring happiness, luck and good health in our lives!

Mother

An angel

Sent by God on Earth

To give you life,

To give you a warm hug

And chase the sadness away.

A dainty flower

That pleases your senses

With her discreet perfume.

A mare as white as snow

Armed with a sparkly golden horn

And who protects you from danger.

The image of joy and kindness,

Of the primordial goddess,

Whose face you see

When you open your eyes.

A ray of hope

When you feel lost.

She gives you a helping hand

In difficult situations.

The heroine who saves the day,

Keeps the family together

And feeds the children.

She gives you education

Together with her soul mate

And the wise grandparents.

Spring And Winter

Nature, Gaia’s child

Organized a grand party

One sunny day.

It wasn’t a normal day

Since there was a great celebration.

Spring’s daughter, Flora’s triumph

Over Jack Frost,

The fearsome offspring of the Frost King

And the Winter Queen.

With his cold breath

He brought chills,

Covering everything in snow

Bringing sleep and hunger.

Being desperate, the plants and wildlife

Asked for Spring’s help.

Hearing and seeing all,

She sent the bravest of knights

To chase Jack away.

Since the fearsome master of chill

Had a heart of stone

And a corrupted soul,

He defeated the knights

With only a simple blow.

Concern and panic spread

Around Spring’s palace.

“What should we do, Your Majesty?”

Asked the Sunflower.

“He’s unstoppable,”

Added the Stag.

Since Spring didn’t know

What answer to give,

She almost lost all hope.

Flora, her daughter

Who was swift as a gazelle,

A dainty flower,

With an iron will,

Gentle as a lamb,

But with a lion heart,

Hearing all of this,

She gathered the strongest of warriors

And formed a group.

On her way to the Frozen Woods

She saw the Ice Prince.

Upon meeting his eyes

She understood his problem.

Immediately she devised a plan

To save that corrupted boy

From distress.

When she reached the frozen meadow,

He was already waiting for her,

Covered in his icy spikes

And armed to the teeth.

“You’ve been sent by Spring,

But you won’t make your way back,”

He addressed to her in his cold voice.

“I noticed the distress in your eyes

And I’ll ease it,”

Replied Flora with her gentle voice.

Annoyed by her bravery

He charged at her

Ready to stab her in the heart.

Noticing that

She gave the order.

The white reindeer blocked his way,

The falcons confused him,

The vines disarmed him,

The Sun King squeezed through the clouds

And bathed his body in his rays.

Birds sang in his ears.

The Ice Prince struggled

Screaming in pain

Of how powerful these weapons were.

A gentle touch eased his pain.

It was Flora holding his hand.

A sense of calmness filled him

The moment he looked her in the eye.

The ice from his eyes thawed,

Tears running down his cheeks.

His frozen heart melted

And strange feelings flooded his mind.

“Love and happiness are

The best cure

For a sad and corrupted heart,”

The girl explained.

Then Jack understood,

It was an understanding person

That he was missing.

He accepted her friendship

And chased the cold away.

At their urge

Their parents made peace,

Coming to an agreement

They shook hands

And everything was equally split among themselves.

Spring has come,

Bringing nature back to life.

The birds are singing,

The little white bells are coming out of the snow.

The trees bloom,

The bears are emerging from hibernation,

The bees gather pollen,

Everything is colorful again.

When winter comes,

She sinks us into a restful sleep

To recharge our batteries.

She cheers up the children

With her white blanket,

Snowy hills, snowflakes,

Sipping hot cocoa next to the fireplace.

She spreads joy

And makes us be more generous

By introducing the Spirit of Christmas to us.

Even nowadays,

Nature sings:

Spring’s triumph over Winter.
