Winter's Chill

"Beauty" by Jacita Dean 2006

The chill of these days,

I lose my flutter.

I stand firm and strong

all winter long,

Trusting spring will return

to grace me

with color and song.

It's not so bad,

please don't be sad.

These times have purpose,

they define our face.

For if no winter chill,

I'd never feel

the pleasure of budding grace.
