Snowpacked promise,
Waters will flow,
Quenching seeded
In winter chill;
Turn of season
In thirsting land
Melts into promise
Of flowing band.

Let the waters melt and flow
And flood the thirsting ground;
Let the flowers bloom and grow,
Rainbow promise blooming grand.
Flower and tree proclaiming the end
Of snowpacked days and chilly wind;
Snowpacked promise flowing down,
The mountain blushes and dons her gown
Of springtime attire…
The flowers and trees
Joyfully conspire
As they move out of winter’s grasp,
That at the mountain view
All passersby might gasp
In awesome wonder,
In awe of the wonder…
Snowpacked promise kept.
