WHEN WINTER TURNS TO SPRING


When Winter Turns To Spring

No matter how cold the winter gets

No matter how dark and glum

I know the time will come again

When spring brings back the sun

The wheel will turn, the seasons pass

And all that’s dead and drear

Is only sleeping for a while

Until the thaw is near

At last the ground is soft and bare

Each day is longer now

Fertile Nature bursting forth

Swelling buds on every bough

The days are growing longer yet

Sprouting seeds, and shoots of green

It lifts my heart to hear the birds

When they so sweetly sing

I saw a golden daffodil

Its trumpet lifted high

And violets winking in the lawn

Wild eyes turned toward the sky

The sun above, the earth below

And all that lives between

Reminds me that we’re all reborn

When winter turns to spring
