I'm awaiting to bloom
to rise through winter's ground
wash away sorrow's perfume
undrape harsh winds that wrap around

That sends a chill
this lonely breeze
as my eyes fill
cold tear drops freeze

Buried underneath snow
a precious sprout
awaiting to grow
for my time to break out

From a life that's lost
I wait through the cold
covered by frost
until I escape winters hold

Until the sun melts away
winter and pain
skies of grey
never to form again

To arise a hopeful blue
robins sing
petals come anew
as it turns to spring

I push through the earth
in my garden of recovery
to show my worth
my discovery

I've bloomed
touched by a loving shower
my colors resumed
I opened, a beautiful flower.
