Through the darkest WINTER of my life
When all I could feel and see was strife
I loyally followed a vibrant light
That accompanied me through many a cold night

My Soul did SPRING from the grips of icy chill
Come to think of it, to this day, I feel it still
I'm slowly learning to heal
I have discovered how to feel

At the beach, the soothing breeze on SUMMER waves
Soothes me with those sun rays
It's ironic at times, I say!
I' m happy to be alive Today!

Though, there are times I do tend to FALL
Like an old tree withering, am losing leaves but, through it all
I can say, even now, in the present darkest winters of my life
I'm Never going to lose that hopeful flame, that vibrant light.
