Spring Robins

The flock of robin's returned
just as  snow was beginning to melt
but weather did a drastic change
a new storm was about to brew
would these birds know what to do
as the snow started gently
it began to blow and drift
the winds became strong 
the birds stayed close to the ground
as the snow quickly built mounds
the birds nestled in from the wind
our little feathered friends survived
the late snow storm of spring
luckily melting was swift
as the robin's welcomed in spring.

I always think of the birds in harsh weather. They always seem to fare well. When it rains real hard or snows it must be difficult for them. Your poem helps us be in tune with their plight. Lovely! Blessings xxoo

God made me a sinner as I always envied a bird's ability to walk around barefoot in the snow . . . . . Aloha!
