Februaries ride in on winter storms that chill my soul
They dull me with the dreary sense of never ending cold
It is a time when I can feel alone and over-suffer ills
When life seems burdened with remedies and pills
But there is beauty in the harshness of February snowing
The joy that comes each year; that comes with knowing
There is someone here sharing frigid days and rainy nights
Who softens burdens making darkness fill with lights
That there is someone here who knows my ways
Who’s lived with me through seasons filled with Mays
When life and love abound in all the blooming flowers
When it is clear to see what gifts and joys are ours
It makes me look again at sheets of February ice
Beneath the drifts and flows that others find so nice
To see that dormant times may not portend an end
But rather be the start of some exciting trend
So let us take a trip of dreams into the months of spring
Where trees will bud and birds will sing
When life will blossom with the mien of something new
When all that’s good is there because of you
