Coldness lived where dreams once dared to stand
A barren place untouched by any hand
I wandered there a ghost in silent land
Too frail to speak too numb to understand
But then you came—your warmth so bright and near
It melted frost that lingered year to year
My inner winter trembled into clear
And sky replaced the silence of my fear
You showed me worlds beyond the frozen pain
You taught me hope could bloom in icy rain
Your tenderness undid the bitter stain
And helped my soul learn how to rise again
So come with me when seasons turn to cry
When grayness clings and fallen leaves deny
For in your presence frozen worlds comply—
You turn my winter into open sky
