PAGE JOAN BURKE Age 14 Chicago Promises of Spring There is something about February day That gives you many hints That spring is on its way A dull You can tell it by The slowly melting snows And by the blustery way The chilly north wind blows The ice is breaking up under the sun’s warm ray The murmur of the river Grows louder every day The smell in the cool air Can only mean one thing It is a certain promise That we shall soon have spring SHIRLEY SYRETT Age 13 Cedar City Thanks for Praise Hurrah for Gavin H Jack!
