I Heard A Bird Sing

[Snowwark]

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

"We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,"
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

~Oliver Herford~

Time to pull the garden catalogs out and start planning... spring is nearer than we think!

You find the bestest poems, Snowwark!

Yaay! Not many days left until the shortest day of the year, and then we get to look forward to longer and longer periods of day light! I sure do miss those LATE sunsets!!! (although these long nights are really helping my Christmas Cactus along!) I think this is the first year that she has been ready to bloom for Christmas rather than Thanksgiving!

What a beautiful poem, Kim! Gives one hope, doesn't it.

I can hardly wait til "the shortest day" too, TigH, as I know it's "uphill" from there!
