Elm trees facing the wind

I saw the Elm trees 
Standing tall in the cold winter
The freezing wind has withered their dense leaves
Blowing up alike  fireflies 

Their tough branches hit the hurricane
I heard the wind hissing in pain

The baptism of the wind 
Revealing the resilience of the trees 
When the hope of spring has been quietly  arriving 

A person's life is like four seasons
Cold and warm, prosperity and decline will always come 
Resolutely facing the bitter rain and desolate wind
The God of Hope will meet you soon 

The silhouette of sails sailing remotely away
Fearless of turbulent winds and waves sailing in
One can touch the dawn of the other shore

Any coldness calls only for your passion
Once cross the desert of winter
We shall meet the lush greenery of spring

In the warm spring breeze, 
Raindrops are softly swaying 
The delicate leaves are gently dancing
Only trees experienced wind and rain
They will be qualified to compare highness with the heaven
Only the sword light sharpened by adversity
Then can we create a rainbow in the sky
Only those who have experienced hardships
Then, it can depict the magnificence of life
And cultivate the beauty of life
