A few yellow blossoms opened The strong forsythia survives Fog has slowly dissipated But damp on the magnolia thrives There was no way of knowing how Rains would pour from dark cloudy skies Then a blast of cold would assault Gold blooms brought to a quick demise Overnight stormy skies poured rain Those pink buds on star magnolia Spread forth to sing a soft refrain But now's time for dampness like Noah's A threat of tornadoes announced The harshest of storms passed us by Other threat now linger in the air Will worldly goods take to the sky~ fly? Only God knows the future What will happen today is unknown One thing I know is He loves us He wants your heart for His home Finis'

We had daffodil shoots and crocuses peeping through the soil in December ... it seems spring is arriving early everywhere - so lovely to see the forsythia with its glorious golden colour but the frosts and snow will soon put paid to its early arrival:-( hugs jan xx

Jan, We are still having rain with the treat of tornadoes..We have not had the cold that they predicted to follow all this rain..It might still come for it is still winter..However, I have seen years like this in the past where it is a very mild winter..It has something to do with el nino' or el nina..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara

Thanks for the visit to my page..I hope that it is a sign of spring but it is too early for spring so I guess we need a few more weeks of winter like weather..There have been years in the past when we had very mild winters and this must be one of them..Sara

Forsythia survives to blossom with yellow colour. Fog disappears but brings emotion. Expectation of gold bloom comes in mind with imagery. Very pleasing and a nice poem is shared here. ...7
