Sh-h... my garden is sleeping

As the sun begins to shine long enough to warm the earth below,

the buds on my trees and bushes will soon begin to pop

and then their leaves will make their grand appearance.

Seeds now buried beneath the snow and soil will begin to sprout

and little by little push their way upward

toward the warmth of the sun...

and then my garden will begin to awake.

It will be as though Mother Nature has cast her magic wand

across the earth

and the glorious dance will then begin.
