Signs of Life

Winter is long in the north

very very long

 

It’s easy to wonder if spring will ever come

 

The snow has been melting fast

turning fields into lakes

 

 

The first walk as winter fades

 

feels like it could wash all your troubles away

the warmth of the sun shines straight into your heart

 

Climbing on rocks and throwing sticks

 

 

Hoping to see a coming ship

 

 

 

 

As the dirty and dingy snow disappears on the ground

underneath signs of life can be found

 

Sometimes I forget that God can wash away

the winter in our hearts, it is not here to stay

 

God’s love and forgiveness are more powerful than the sun

to melt away damage in our hearts that’s been done

 

And underneath all the snow, dirt and yuck

there’s patches of green, we don’t need to be stuck

 

New growth brings hope
