In dormancy
it waits the day
of Spring in
all its glory
away from
danger of the frost
which lays
upon it hoary
Oh Sunshine
come to warm it through
and loose
the new beginnings
Bear witness
to its fortitude
and solid
underpinnings
For laid
beneath the hardened crust
there dwells
a life that’s ready
to burst
through rubble and the grit
to gardener’s
hand that’s steady
And with
some gentle cultivation
there’ll
come a grateful bloom
forgetting all
the bygone seasons
dispensing all
the gloom
A life will blossom
all anew
and bring its
fruitful yearning
to show its
full abundancy
that comes
through patient learning
Once upon a winter's morn
they thought their fate was set
Until that time, their hearts enclosed
they hadn't dared to bet
'Twas not until they'd chanced to meet
they thought by hand divine
You thought that I would be your love
and I thought you'd be mine
But fate had other plans in store
a trick stuffed up its sleeve
A bond they'd shared so many years
was one that they'd both leave
What they thought was something strong
turned out to be quite weak
From here on out, divided, lone
the future seems so bleak
The cautionary lesson here
is "Watch who gets your heart!"
For one who seems will love forever
will one day soon depart
