Winter Is Not Forever

Slipping on the thick blanket of ice 
Cold and hungry
Searching for prey 
A young family relying on us 
Finding warmth within the den
Love keeps us together 
Winter is not forever, spring will come soon

Leaving the cubs in the shelter 
Another day of hard work
Short days but colder nights 
Dreaming of an early sun rise 
Hopeful of warmer days 
Patiently waiting
Winter is not forever, spring will come soon 

February has passed 
March has just began
Counting down the days
The hard, concrete like ice is no more 
The sky is brighter 
My family are happier 
Winter is not forever, spring has just come
