A Visitor

For the last six weeks I have had a visitor on my back patio - it is a red breasted robin.

He visits throughout the day, taking the stance of looking at all that his eyes can see as if he rules it and it is his realm.

I admire his posture, his regalness and the brightness of his breast.  It appears that he is watching to make sure that nothing has been taken or is not in its proper place.

I am wondering how long will I have my visitor?  Is he here just for the spring or will he stay throughout the summer?  What brought him to my patio - can I expect him again next year?

For now I will enjoy him for as long as he visits.
