The anticipation of spring: LAPC

The anticipation of spring is a memorable time of the year

Some celebrate spring’s arrival with dancing and bugling songs

Others pair off with thoughts of creating families

Some blend into the background, unnoticed

Until their moment of celebration arrives

Some look back, remembering the weight of winter

Others look ahead, with the anticipation of spring
