Robin Red Breasts welcome Spring in the melodies they sing. Bearing breasts of crimson-red, they return from whence they fled. A splash of color on white is indeed a pleasing sight. And as the icicles melt, Spring's tepid breath can be felt. Daffodils poke through the ground, and suddenly, sprouts abound. Where white was, it's green instead, a sign of what lies ahead. Nature nurtures life once more, and soon, spirits start to soar. Springtime awakens senses that breach Winter's defenses.
