A yellow leaf blew on the wind,
and from the corner of my eye,
I saw it on this Winters day.
For the mearest of a time,
I thought it was a butterfly.
But then I knew it only for
the gift it truly was.
A tiny glimpse of coming Spring
on this frosty Winters day.

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Lovely.  I saw a robin yesterday and then I realized that they never left this fall.  Do you suppose they know something I don't?  Love, Joyce

Ellie,

As I sit here freezing facing the coldest week of winter we've had yet, how nice it was to read your glimpse of spring.

you are an optomist gentle lady, spring is yet a distance away but never lose your faith in what is to come...

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
