spring!!

Deep in the forest, lives the spring gnome

The smallest of gnomes

In the smallest of homes.

He has slept all winter, he’s slept quite a lot

In his cozy little home,

Where the snow is not.

One day as he snores

In his dreams hears a call

Of the sweetest little spring fairy

The sweetest of them all.

She calls for him to wake  “wake up” (singing voice)

The little sleepy gnome

From his wintertime slumber

In his cozy gnomy home.

His ear perks up

His snores do stop

He opens one eye, and wakes right up!

He peeks out the doorway

And what does he see?

A tiny little tip, of a flower to be…

He steps outside

To the warm soft breeze,

And this is when, he begins to sneeze! “Achoo, achoo, achoo, achoo, achoo!”

He sneezes five times,

And when he stops

Five little spring fairies, are all lined up

All ready to begin, the spring work ahead,

Of bringing the flowers and bugs out of bed.

They have been sleeping all winter long,

the way to best wake them is to sing a spring song

The song that they then – sing, sang and sung

Reminds everyone – spring truly has sprung!

They dance ‘round the forest,

All day and all night.

Now in morning sun – COLORS SO BRIGHT!!

Flowers blooming, short and tall

Bugs buzzing and flying, some big and some small

We know the song that they do sing

Let’s sing with the fairies to welcome the spring…………
