Winter's Cry

Behold the silent battle That the changing seasons bring Winter's grip is loosened As the robin begins to sing The flowers strain toward Heaven As their fragrance fills the air For spring has given notice But winter will not despair Winter will not be broken As it fights with it's last breath But spring's warm winds are endless And the reason for winter's death Spring proclaims it's victory As it watches it's rival die The snowflakes have changed to raindrops As winter begins to cry
