WINTER

Yes, you will.
Get through this,
Winter.
First, we notice the darkness,
In many places, the cold.
Weather takes on more meaning.
We are forced to remember,
How small we can be in the face,
Of wind, snow, sleet and rain.
We relish the warmth of inside
Our house or the covers.
The losing of the light,
And with the blessing of candle light,
Can be reminded of so many traditions,
And years past.
Seeking family and connections,
As remedy for the atrocities of the news,
Voices of old friends,
That reassure us of another year,
And fill us with that singular thought,
Yes,
You will,
Get through this.
