Anticipation




I saw a sunray today
Beam across the bay,
Smiling between clouds of gray
Before it quickly danced away.

I saw robin red breast
Fluff his brilliant chest,
Just a showoff on the fence
But I haven't seen him since.

I saw geese in the sky
Honking as they flew by,
A noisy clatter they put forth
As they winged their way north.

A crocus poked its head
From it's icy garden bed
Struggling to reach the light
Wakening from winters plight.

I saw new buds on a tree
Preparing to make leaves,
They pay no heed at all
That another snow may fall.

I noticed the morning light
Is stealing from the night,
Temperatures slowly warm
With each days early morn.

I think winter will soon be over,
I'll wiggle my toes in new clover,
I'll warm my face in spring's sun
Marking time till summers fun.
