Bringing Back Spring

Shiver in the cold dark winter
Darkness with no end in sight
I just sometimes wonder how I’m
Gonna make it through the night

Shivering with ice cold tears

Go and find wood for the fire
Falling on the hidden ice
From the pain of which I tire

Back inside and stoke the flames

Feel the warmth and orange glow
Look outside and see the flakes
Beauty shines in falling snow

Nature paints the scene in whiteness

Taking in the splendid view
Refreshing both the heart and soul
Raising up my spirits new

Reaching out to share the light

Join with friends and share a smile
Sharing stories by the hearth
Bringing back spring for a while
