The dawn kept her promise and
erased the dark..
A ruby red cardinal throbs his
song of the heart..
A robin hops thru the grass
eyeing twigs for it's nest.
The mallards stopped eating,
their breeding I guess.
It's now apparent, a seasonal
change in the air.
The assurance of spring is every where.
The storm that threatens to stay
Thunder rumbles strong and fierce
The clouds grew gray and heavy
Darkness swallows the skies
A storm is brewing
Thunder rumbles strong and fierce
Winds rush the land like angry waters
Violent winds battle gives way to grim howls
The storm threatens to stay
Thunder rumbles strong and fierce
Lightning makes it's presents known
Bold intimidating flashes collapse against darkened clouds
Masking it's true agenda in luminous colours
It's apparent a storm is brewing
As the storm rages there's a sudden shift in the atmosphere
Dark clouds dissipates giving way to the sun's beckoning light
A glimmer of hope is on the horizon
Negating any short comings that may invade my space
There you have it folk that's Diabetes in my body
