The First Drip
The calendar page,
Has been flipped.
And the first drop of rain,
Has just dripped.
The scent of petrichor,
Is so pleasing.
And all our worries,
Slowly start releasing.
Our minds are relaxed,
New puddles have been formed,
And finally at this stage,
The Earth has transformed!
We step out together,
To meet the new day.
To have all the fun,
As much as we may!
