Winter Garden
I planted flowers to watch them grow.
But now the ground lies white with snow.
I said “Daddy, they’ll freeze the snow’s so deep.”
“No, my child, they’re just asleep.
Be patient now until the robins sing.
You’ll see a miracle come spring.”
Today I looked across the field.
It was in bloom with a daffodil.
The trees, fresh green, rustled in the breeze.
Everything thawed from winter's freeze.
I heard the song the robins sing.
Like Daddy said, "Just wait for spring."
