“So fickle are Earth weather schemes;
 help Winter steal Springtime's new dreams.”
                                                      _by Poet

Rose yesterday to a surprise-
an April snowstorm filled the night;
could not believe my gaping eyes-
as scenes turned white from green.

The daffodils were a sad sight
as if praying the Sun will rise-
bent over from their frosty plight.

Today, the Sun restored their prize-
they stand up tall with great delight;
forgetting when snow filled the skies-
as scenes turned white from green.
