THE
BUD
My heart was
lifted up to see
the greening bud
upon the tree.
From thoughts of
gloom it set me
free
to contemplate a
symphony.
So long the
chill had made
me blue,
but when I saw
the bud I knew
soon spring
would rise in
full review
to end cold
winter's stark
milieu.
The bud was just
a tiny sprout
but multiplied
with force and
clout,
and soon it
kicked old
winter out
and reigned
supreme without
a doubt!
