Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Robin's Sweet Voice

~ A Robin's Sweet Voice ~

I woke just before dawning
     and looked to the East
A gray sky was forming
     sunrise had ceased

Nor twinkle of starlight
     nor moon did I spot
The day would dawn cloudy
     dark with worry 'twas fraught

Just then on the trellis
     a robin's sweet voice did I hear
Piercing the dark clouds
     with proclamations of cheer

So I zipped up my jacket
     and picked up my pace
My heart bursting with gladness
     ~ a smile 'cross my face
