Around the Corner

As I look through still trees and snow covered fields,
                  I search for your smile
Even in these empty places, there is still more to see
Snow folds in banks, along the long printed path
Footprints seen from the people who have passed 
Fragile branches hang low, brittle in the cold
But, underneath the pines there are warm visions
Where your smile waits, just around the corner
