Looking for Robins

by Mary Leesa Jensen

Today is the day

To look for robins,

To start at the bottom of the hill

And slowly walk to the top,

Watching for first signs of spring

And still hearing the crunch of frozen snow

That will slowly melt

And pass into the ground

To give meaning and sustenance

To a coming spring day meant

To look for robins.
