Winter winds may blow and roar
But how can you be sure
That springtime heals your open wounds
The first step out the door?
“When I stepped into the warm light
Think I caught spring fever
I’d been living in the dark too long
But now I’m a believer
When I saw the snow all melt
I finally could see myself
I’m not living in that gray haze
Or living for somebody else”
As you enter blooming vernal,
Stress is building deep internal
Maybe it’s more than just deciduous growth
Robins glide on April breeze
The flowers in full bloom
Though sunlight shines bright
The storm clouds bring doom
“I felt the breeze in the trees ground me
I heard the birds in the air sing to me
I cannot take another winter here
Guess we agree to disagree”
Never-ending sunshine, it’s a
Blessing and damnation
Maybe it’s more than just the avian roost
“I can’t wait six more weeks
Things are getting pretty bleak
I'm so sick
I’m so sick
I’m so sick of waiting”
“I might be springing away to a new place
But the memories won’t ever be replaced”
I will miss you, dear friend
