Winter lingers
Snow-capped rooftops, lawns and streets
glimmer in the morning sun
Coldness seeps into every pore
Spring still aloof
Trees remain bare and dormant
no budding, no blooms,
no soft green grass to run barefoot through
When will winter go away?
When will spring have its say and stay for a while
before settling into the heat of summer?
Oh when will it be?
Snow-capped rooftops, lawns and streets
glimmer in the morning sun
Coldness seeps into every pore
Spring still aloof
Trees remain bare and dormant
no budding, no blooms,
no soft green grass to run barefoot through
When will winter go away?
When will spring have its say and stay for a while
before settling into the heat of summer?
Oh when will it be?
The Lord God of all
controls the seasons
But we have had enough!
What do you teach
What are we to learn
Or is it a reminder
of whose really in charge?
The sun shines bright
But there is no warmth
Perhaps the Sun
is a reminder too
of God’s Son
His light shines
forever
Do we see it,
witness it,
Are we aware of it
in the midst of every dark, cloudy, dreary day?

forever
Do we see it,
witness it,
Are we aware of it
in the midst of every dark, cloudy, dreary day?
Are we missing the
bigger picture
when we refuse to look beyond
our personal self-serving box
of woe?
when we refuse to look beyond
