Flight of Spoonbills

The sun is setting in the west,

The Spoonbills fly with no rest,

Their wings are strong and they will go,

Until they reach their winter home.

Hope emerges

Daffodils

In icy ground . . .

Daffodils sprout forth, bright buds

In yellow hues, their faces

Smiling in the cold earth,

Promising springtime to us all.
