My day in the sun

          

 

I am like a perennial
in its stages of life,
hibernation and rebirth
Each new year promises
the root a new depth
to hold fast to,
to grow stronger from
with the passing of time.
I too, bask in the warmth of the sun
shinning full on my face
But I know what the flowers can't
I know that I will be back next spring
ready for my day in the sun once more
