Forsythia

Crystal Webb

We sit in anticipation

as we await your arrival.

Your bare twigs amaze us

as they sway so calmly.

You look so sad

sitting there lifeless.

With much excitement,

we watch you bloom.

Oh, how beautiful your twigs have become

full of flowers and smiling.

Your happiness radiates

as you grace us with your presence.

Thank you for sharing your beauty

with us in the yard.

We will not forget your beauty

as we sit in anticipation next year.

We know you will come

and let us in your life again.
