"SPRING"
(by Becky Hemsley)
(by Becky Hemsley)
They met her on the corner
And she said her name was Spring
And she told them she’d been resting
Whilst the winter did its thing
As the rain had turned to snow
And she’d lit herself a fire
When the wind began to blow
She watched the winter ravage
And strip bare the stubborn trees
Whilst she’d sewn and stitched together
Brand new blossoms and their leaves
She said when it was cold
That she’d been sleeping in the warm
And when winter brought its blizzards
She’d been singing through the storm
When frosty mornings lingered
She’d been busy planting seeds
And until she could pick flowers
She had picked a book to read
And she told them, through the bleakness
She’d been writing to the sun
And the sun wrote back ‘hang in there
There are brighter days to come’
And then they looked and realised
There were flowers in her hair
Her smile was bright and sunny
And her voice had warmed the air
And then she waved goodbye
But in her wake she left them hope -
They knew the sun was on its way
To gently thaw the snow
And they felt a sense of peace
About what future days might bring
When they realised every winter
Must be followed by the spring
