When you are waiting
For winter to end
When the darkness
Clings closely to the day
Walk in the gardens available
Look for life signs
Budding on the tulip trees
See Mother Earth wrap her baby blankets
Around pruned rose bushes
See the robins congregate
In clusters in the leafless oaks
Perhaps planning
Spring nesting
Encouraging one another
Keep on keeping on
We need our flocks
This time of year
Find our cozy blankets
Snuggle in and make some plans
Visit the green house and get inspired
With bursts of color
Daffodils and crocus
Even a banana tree
Find warmth to
Free joy in your heart
