Show me the way

Show me the way around the beaten path

Show me the way to countryside

Where everything is blooming of hope and beauty

Show me where the dove and crow are as one

Show me where the creek meets the meadow

Show me where the leaves are green with possibilities

Show me the way around the crack in paths

Show me how to skip stones across the pond

Show me how to stack the stones on top on other

So perfectly balanced

Show me the path where the flowers were reaped from their places

Show me the petals that so desperately cling to the rocks

Show me the den of the sleepy one

Show me the water that flows so perfectly from its safe

Show me the pond that only muck seems lure about

Show me the blanket of white that is slowing fading out of shape

Show me the way around the creatures

Show me the way to the river

Show me how to catch one

Show me how to purchase a bottle of life

Show me how to rewind the time with dandelions

Show me how to summon the sun

Show me the way to the village

Show me how to run in a race

Show me how you go about

Oh show me where the younglings run

Show me where the baby bird screeches hungrily about

Show me where the a cub just begins to play

Show me the shadows

Show me where the winter battlers begin to wake

Show me where the bear stands

Show me where the saplings are springing up

Show me how to pluck out the pests

Show me how to climb high

Oh show me the skipping stones that we left astray

Show how she has slept

show me the joy with the rain

Show me the patches where winter wear may have struck

Show me the way to the field of wonders

Show me the bundle of sticks you so undoubtedly collected

Show me the stone brick wall that now covering in twines

Show me the trees that are no longer bare

Show me to the gardens where the fences are mended

Show me where the carrots are missing

Show me the tracks that may lead to more

Show me where they may lay

Oh just don’t show me where they are hiding

Show me the way to the storm brewing

Show me how to dance to the beat

Show me how to collect the crawlers of night afterwards

Just don’t make me touch them

Show me how to bait the hook

Show me where is the perfect

Oh show me where you came to play

Show me how you survived the winter

Show me where the sun is setting

Show me where the perfect spot is to watch the night go by

If it’s time go

Please don’t tell me so

Let me spread my arms out and touch the sky

Oh will please show me one last thing

Show me please where spring is

Show me where it is hiding

Show me the way to the blooming world

Show me the sun

Show me the water

Show me the rain

Show me the animals

Show me the plants

Show me the sky

Oh show me spring today
