THE GRAND OPENING
© 2020 Ani McManus, Sweet Day Publishing
one tiny crocus grew through
a crack in the street
not knowing the kind of world
she would meet
but she wanted to be here
in time for spring
didn’t want to miss
the grand opening
she stole that sliver of light
and made her escape
small wild one emerged
without a scrape
but there’s no space
in that broken place
that’s easy to share
still she made me stop
in my tracks to stare
hello everyone it’s almost spring
you know it’s true cause that’s
what crocuses bring
and they sing
we come for the sun
we are here
your days of darkness
will disappear
and you sing you sing spring is near
a crack in the clouds
recited the spell of fire
no words could draw the awe
that glow would inspire
though the only garden she knows
is the crack in the street
how many dreams can she grow
in that bed of concrete
wondering about the wanderers
who pass her by day
and the ones who see her
but still walk away
hello everyone it’s almost spring
you know it’s true cause that’s
what crocuses bring
and they sing
we come for the sun
we are here
will our days of darkness disappear
we want to sing we want to sing
spring is here
the crack in the street had been a
dangerous dare
but it was worth it for the chance
to breathe the birth of air
and we sing we sing we sing
