Following Footsteps

The skies are gray, since morning today Snowbanks rising higher, in the way Animals hiding, birds not around The snow piles up without a sound No sign of spring, but hope does remain Changing of seasons, winter winds wane As flowers bloom, memories will stay Sparkling white snow on ground where it lay Beauty blooms in every season From this creation, that gives reason For all that we may choose to create Following footsteps to reach our fate Heidi Sands 2/15/19 Placed joint 1st in the Poetry Contest 560.

Yerning for spring after a ferocious winter is a justifiable wish for us. A wonderfully rhymed poem dearest , Heidi!

The longing for spring comes through in your lovely poem, Heidi. Winter hangs on in the northern states; spring seems to have arrived in Florida. Best wishes for success in Brian's contest!
