Notes About The Poem

 

Winter I Survived

 "The earth has music for those who listen."

                                             quote _Shakespeare

Winter I survived and nature is alive,
the bees are humming in their hive;
soon the trees will wear emerald gowns,
casting off all the dullness of browns;
I love taking a long, long country drive !

Rain falling makes the forests revive,
the wildflowers are blooming and thrive;
and all around are happy bird sounds.
Winter I survived !

On my porch garden will plant and contrive,
oh, I hope my seedlings will survive;
soon children will be laughing in playgrounds,
Lord, your light makes all things arise;
I will keep beauty so my soul will thrive.
Winter I survived !
