Bloom In the Winter Snow

A snowflake falls, as if winter’s lace,
On each little pansy’s laughing face.
While other flowers have long since died,
All thru the winter they stand with grace.

And when blizzard winds begin to race,
They will not be driven from their place.
For throughout the cold they will abide,
And bloom in the winter snow.

A life full of cold cannot erase
Your soul full of joy, as if a vase
 You can survive, and a smile can’t hide,
If you let love be your only guide.
Sorrow ‘n pain will turn about-face,
And bloom in the winter snow.
