Swallows

It’s that time of year again

I should rejoice really

But I’m sad

Sad because you have gone

You didn’t even say goodbye



I knew it for a couple of days now

It was your time to go

I just didn’t want you to leave

It will be a long time before

I will see you again



I don’t like this time of year

It will be quiet outside

The weather is too warm most times

For my taste anyway

But you know it’s time to go



That must mean a change is on the way

You always know when to go

I hope you will get there safe

And come back safe as well

See you in Spring, sweet birds who make me happy
