Spring is at the Door,

 

   

         Hope

I looked out, of the window today,
and I was excited, to see,
A Robin-red breast, there in the snow,
peering back quizzically, at me,
I exclaimed,”Oh guess what I just saw,
on the 25th day, of January?,
“Well I  just don’t know, what’s excited you so,”
answered, sweet Rosemary,
I shared with her,what I had viewed,
and the cause, for my exclamation,
That when once we see, the Robin’s return,
it’s a call, for winter’s cessation,
That country folk, have believed it is so,
for generation’s, now long since past,
And that all try to be, the first one to see,
the foretelling of Spring’s coming, at last,
With that the sun suddenly, peeked out,
for the very first time, that day,
As if right on que, to confirm the sight too,
that Spring surely is, coming our way,
I offered up thank’s,,to my Father,
that all thing’s,have beginning and end,
That winter’s, long grip is passing,
and that Spring is coming, my friend…
