Renewed Life

I waited through the winter’s rain,

Through icy winds that wail,
To see you come once more to bloom,
So delicate and pale.
For you hold promises of spring
Within your golden heart,
And, after winter’s dreary days,
I long for spring’s fresh start.
 
You were not there two days ago,
I know, I watched for you,
But when this morning’s sun arose,
I saw your sweet face, too.
So, though the rains are not yet gone,
And winter lingers still,
I feel the warmth of renewed life
Despite the winter chill.
