She sits on the porch all day long. <br />As the seasons pass, so does her young age. <br />She greets summer in a yellow dress, <br />She embraces autumn with open arms. <br />She waits for winter impatiently, for the snow. <br />Covered in white, hidden from the iciness of her neighbors <br />Spring approaches her cautiously, <br />And covers the garden with roses <br />She is alienated by others because of her shell, <br />Yet nobody knows, <br />The memories which leave her wounded <br />No one dares to step in her shoes <br />For they fear her sadness will overcome them. <br />Hoping that time will heal all, <br />She sits on the porch.<br /><br />Hidden Red<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/awaiting-seasons/
