A month of anticipation

I wish I could congratulate the President for his efforts with words. When the concentration camps were liberated, a Hershey bar or a cigarette spelled "freedom"   and "life!" 

I rather wish, in a way, that President Trump could summon or spell "freedom" that simply, succinctly, profoundly.  I mean, this month of March is the season for hope. We need that straightforward sense of liberation, that astonishing chocolate bar, as we go forward into this year. And in the month of March, we can use some apt and yet also poetic words that I  wish I could summon for our readers. 

I live in my past, our history, and offer a few words for these early days of the month of nervous anticipation.... when robin seeks a place to perch!
