Spring daffodil blooms,
Tulips in full, the sun looms,
Big Apple days as the trees sprout,
Life’s astir the snow melts about ,
Gathering nuts by feverish pitch
pets scamper in a favorite niche,
Jerry next to me ,no fear, sits down,
Hops on my lap, tail bushy in brown,
Demands lunch on his arm nails ,
This daily routine has never fails:
My pocket palm opens to see,
Grabs in quick’n’ runs to a tree,
Thus intact our friendship remains,
Special is he life moments retains.

Dear Ishrat,
I loved your poem about the squirrel – it made me want to go the park and find my own “nutcracker”! Thanks for brightening my day🙏🙏🙏
The beauty of springtime, friendship everlasting and memories all in one poem!
