Tho' winter can be very harsh, <br />Yet there's something beautiful. <br />Something different. <br />Unique wintry features <br />Not invested in other seasons. <br /> <br />Features that sow to our lives <br />In a solemn way: <br />White landscapes, <br />Snow-covered trees. <br />Hanging icicles, frosty breath. <br />Frozen faucets and lakes. <br />Magical winds. <br /> <br />Come spring, we bloom. <br />And flourish in the summer. <br />Such harvest is sweet. <br />But it for life's winter <br />That we are the wisers.<br /><br />Walterrean Salley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-s-winters/
