Analysis of Winter And Spring



Winter And Spring

The winter of frigid stagnation suffers
Upon a life frozen by heartache
Snow piles up over the will
Once warm in the sunshine
Happiness hibernates
Through cold nights
As tears weep all alone.

In life Spring always follows Winter
Discontent and disappointment
Do not last forever
Persistence and endurance
Don’t have to be perfect
Just keep moving even at a crawl
As you go through Hell keep going!

Repeat the mantra I will survive
As you weather the storm
Rain may fall and you’ll get wet
But the Sun will shine in time
No one drowns standing up
Before honor comes humility
Your crown is waiting up ahead.
