It’s hard to be patient

While looking for growth,

After the dark, dismal, bareness in Winter,

When nothing germinates

And all seems shutdown.

-o0o-

As the sky lightens up

The warmth of the sun,

Encourages the very, first buds of Spring,

Green shoots stretch and poke through

And all seems hopeful.

-o0o-

Buds bloom into flowers

With tender respect,

Producing plentiful fruits throughout Summer,

Then, crops for the harvest

And … all seems at rest.
