Frost and ice and fire

Surely there is a way to taste happiness

Despite the misery of those

Who know only the ways of despair

Surely there is a sun still shining out there

Somewhere

And each storm is followed by a rainbow

Believe me I know

How it feels to be crushed or bowed down so low

All you can see is soggy ground

A lot of mud

Or mixed up leaves

But when the time comes

For strength to once again

Bring our spines upright

Then it is we realise

We were only visited by these losses for a time

And there were also choices we made

All along the line

That sometimes made things worse

And so it is

There comes a time

To seek the taste of life and happiness again

Searching for

Those wide open spaces that lead us

Far beyond the shores of death

Just as towards the end of winter

We may sense

The zest and flavour of spring

Seeking to deliver us

Far beyond

These lands we travelled

Of frost and ice

And fire
