April
-------
The waiting was worth it
those dark bleak days of winter
wrapped in layer after layer
and still feeling cold
at last the days lengthen
and a bit of warmth fills the air
A robin visiting, sits on the fence
As i admire the garden,
Its recent colours blooming
a beam of sunlight
highlights the dogwood
like a starlet taking her bow
my heart fills with peace
Yes
The waiting was worth it
