Hopeful

It has been the worst
The winter that never ends
Record temps and snow
*****
But we're almost there
It's only a few more weeks
Until Salvation
*****
Spring is coming soon
Grass will sprout and leaves will grow
Sun will shine again
*****
Oh how wonderful
To take a walk to the park
And swing in the breeze
*****
Spring, won't you hurry?
Breath life into us once more
Let us feel your warmth

    Nice flowers!

    And spring will come soon, I promise! Hang in there. You can lauge at me as much as you want in August. :)

    Oh, and I'm truly sorry to hear about Brett. I felt the same way when Craig Biggio retired (baseball, Astros).

    I hope you feel cheery soon! For us in the Pacific Northwest, it's not the snow that can get one down, but gray skies, day after day after day, with a constant little drizzle. The year I first moved to Washington State, I think it rained the entire month of JUNE! Can you believe it?
