Spring Song

Let the song begin

Did you think spring would never come?
Did you think rain could overpower the sun?
Did you think suffocating snows would deny
The earth bursting forth, could the crocus die?
Would grey always mask the dawn?
Could silence always quiet the song
Of a songbird alone on a limb
One bud bursts forth
let the song begin.
