A junco is sitting on the bird feeder,  
Thoughts of warm weather enter my mind,  
Though the winter winds are blustery,  
I know that Spring is not far behind. 
 
Though the sun is still hiding 
Behind the dark, gloomy clouds drifting low,  
I see pink and white blossoms in the treetops,  
And colorful flowers pushing through the snow. 
 
Succulent vegetation cover the meadows,  
A variety of wildflowers on the hill,  
Dreams of sunshine and elaborate gardens 
In the midst of the late winter's chill.
Joseph T. Renaldi
