Is anyone else finding spring a bit of a sniffle?!
The air is sweet with blooming flowers,
And colours bright in springtime hours,
The trees awash in pastel hues,
A sight that’s lovely, fresh, and new.
But for those with hay fever’s curse,
The joys of spring can’t be much worse,
As pollen fills the gentle breeze,
And sneezing, sniffling, never ease.
The eyes can itch, the nose can run,
A constant battle with the sun,
A struggle to enjoy the scene,
As allergies rage, fierce and mean.
So while the spring is wondrous fair,
For some, it’s more than they can bear,
A time of beauty and distress,
A paradox of happiness.
