Like the Month of March, life is .unpredictable. -Michelle Liew

**************************************************************

Still, they wait, stoic in the silence

Branches tilted to the blue sky

White frost stays within their bark

A hush before the green.

Roots press down, holding soil,

Knowing warmth returns

They trust the sun

Breathing

Hope
