Spring for You is not Spring for Me
You Revel in the scents of Flowers, while I Sneeze
You raise your naked Face to the lengthened Light of the Sun, while I Hide beneath a coating of SPF 100
You point out the Beauty and Rebirth of every new Leaf and Bud, while I wallow in the Pain of a thousand pollen Needles embedded in my Sinuses
Spring for you is Not spring for me
I clutch my Wheezing chest and squeeze tight my Watering eyes
Wake me when Winter is come

Oh, I feel for you, Jill. I’m fortunate not to suffer with allergies, but two of my brothers are tortured by them. Nice poem though. 🙂
