As We Pass Through Winter
The trip is short
there is no return route
we must pass through this winter
without fear
This season is marked by icy winds
and crystalline snowflakes
we'll challenge the winter freeze
with candles
which give off
a sweet aroma
and spread light beneath a
darkening sky
yes, we'll feel the chill
Yet we now realize
that our journey will be fruitful
and that thowe who preach despair
will be swept away by the winter wind
and put to rest
by the songs we sing
and by the glow of our life's energy - which is now dormant
but will be revived in due time
and though we are buffeted
by the winds of time and change
we will leave our legacy
to the next generation
who will face the stormy weather
with the same resolve
we show
in our best moments
