Winter's Gift

Winter comes and much is lost Hardship, cold and survival's cost Quiet sadness and emotions muted haunts even those to whom comfort is rooted

But just as blackest night comes before sunrise So is Spring born from Winter's demise Melting away the hardship's of the old year And bringing to the world sunlight and cheer

So hold fast through the long winter Until its frozen siege does splinter Hold fast against today's sorrows And look to what will come tomorrow

Every Winter is better than the last As every Winter takes us farther from the past
