And the Jonquils Will Bloom

I shall be patient in the dreary atmosphere,
Weary of these damp and dark fraught days, for I know
God is watering the Jonquils.

Soon red buds will peek through the thunder,
Chartreuse leaves will line baby trees, for
God is watering the Jonquils.

Through the winds and fear and booming storms,
All nature will dance and all will be right,
For God has watered the Jonquils.

And the Jonquils will bloom.

Beautiful tristich, SW! It inspires the spirit. Giving glory to God for all things will do that. Ty for dropping the love and knowledge. I did not know that flower, but now I do. You have a captive student now, Teach. Lol! Wonderful poetry. Love and smiles always.

Beautifully written. I especially loved this poem because I suffer from depression and in the winter it worsens (seasonal affective disorder AKA sad). I count the days until Winter's end!
