Birds twitter outside my window
in lusty tones of sparkling glee,
welcoming spring flowers boldly
poking their heads from winter sleep.
Morning breaks in cloudy yellows.
Birds twitter outside my window,
inviting me to gently rise,
greet blossoming day with wonder.
Grey squirrel scampers across lawn
greening after yesterday's rain.
Birds twitter outside my window,
watched carefully by neighbor's cat.
Squirrel digs for buried acorn,
harassed by backyard mockingbird.
Oak trees prepare to freshly bud,
birds twitter outside my window.

In my pursuit of earning enough profit to secure a house, I made the decision to invest all my savings into a trading stock platform. However, after five months, I discovered that the website had abruptly shut down, and the person who had convinced me to invest was nowhere to be found. It was a devastating realization that I had been scammed. The situation left me feeling desperate and even contemplating ending my own life. It was during this low point that I came across an article about the Crypto Recovery Service provided by Brunoe Quick Hack, and I decided to reach out to them. Remarkably, within just 48 hours of availing their services, I was able to recover everything I had lost.

This poem does a great job conveying spring's (and the poet's) awakening.

Particularly love the progression of that repeated line, as the poet wakes and rises during the length of the poem, preparing to freshly bud himself for the new day.
