so much depends
upon

that little brown
bird

its bright red
chest

its cheery announcement of
spring

The author's comments:

The arrival of the robins to mark spring has always been a huge part of my life.  Every year, around the end of March or the beginning of April, my home and school would be buzzing with talk of robins.  "Have you seen one yet?"  "I can't wait until I see the first robin of spring!"  And when someone finally did see one, everyone would excitedly predict the coming of warm weather and express their hope that it would come soon.
