The Snow Will Melt
A budding tree in meadow rests
On a twisted branch capped with snow
A little bird with a red breast
Fluffed up and putting on a show.
He survived thru the winter’s night
While sheltered neath a window shrub
He waited for the warmth of light
To look for seeds, perhaps a grub.
Do we not shelter in our home
To keep us safe from harm outside
We must not be afraid to roam
Get up, go out, we must not hide.
The snow will melt, the tree will bloom
The sun will rise, blot out the gloom.
