Robin

I am seven
Alone in the
House with my
Mother sick but
Playing hooky on
A school day in late
February looking out
The window when I
See a robin land in
Our yard I tell my
Mother come
See and her
Face lights
Up since
A robin
Means
Spring is
Getting close
She begins to sing
When the red Red Robin
Comes hop hop hop
Hopping along
Smiling I am
Thrilled to
See her
Happy.
