Winter comes, even
When we are not ready
A cruel shock
After summer's
Delights.
Winter comes overnight
An unwanted guest
With white robes and
An unfriendly
Tone.
An unwanted guest
With white robes and
An unfriendly
Tone.
Winter comes at the end
Of life's cycle
Of life's cycle
A time of rest before
Another season of growth
Begins.
Winter comes without fail
To each of us
We can learn her
Stern lessons or resent her
Cold ways.
Winter comes with a
Promise: clean snow
Covering each branch and inch
Offering redemption.
A fresh start.
Winter comes and is followed
By spring, summer, fall
It won't last forever
So succumb to its
Thrall.
