- Springs First Song
I know it is officially here
I see the date on my calendar
I have been awakening to the song of birds outside my window with the first light
Blue Jays have begun a nest in my vines
Blossoms blooming finally
The weather has inched up 10 degrees, maybe
But the rain keeps coming here in the Northwest
A few extra sun breaks to keep our hopes up
I still wrap myself up in scarf and warm jacket when I go out
So I plastered a picture of last year’s tulips and bright blue wallpaper on my blog
To cheer me up and remind me
Spring comes every year
Hope is still alive
Even after the hardest, coldest darkest years
Winter will not always be
Frozen, bleak darkness
Will give way again
Slowly, slowly
To buds and blossoms
Songbirds and new life
Light will push back the darkness
Hope is renewed
