A Winter’s Discontent

The winter’s bitter coldness brings wraith

And sorrow that bends arms into layers

Closer around the heart’s place

As we come together at the hearth’s space

To remember and to celebrate, within our tears,

That we are never truly alone to face fears

If we remain true to our faith

That we live on forever within our prayers

So that a winter’s discontent may fade into spring’s lovely face.
