First Spring Breeze

First spring breeze
Brings life to everything around
And revives the worn winter souls
That hurried inside from the cold
And could not stay outside for long
Now we can stand warmly in sun's return
As our smiles also come home
From their icy vacation that ends
With the first spring breeze

Where has the snow gone?

Where has the snow gone?
Winter is snow,
Winter is cold.
Yet something has changed.

It is hot,
Hitting 60 degrees
The snow is gone
The grass is seen

What have we done
To deserve such a thing?
It is only January,
But the rains have come.

Vermont is known
For many things
The skiing and ski resorts
The snow and the maple syrup

But how can we
Keep our reputation strong
