“Find the spring in you.
New and fresh, renewed,
as the earth is this day.
Out of sleep, growth comes
from the hardened times.
Sunlight shines and up comes again
to break through what once
one slept through.
Awakened now to the change in you
as the dampness of the dew
from the cold of the night before
opens up your bloom to shine once more.
But you are different now than before,
a new year and season to explore.
Shake off the dust from times ago
and now stretch yourself for greater growth.
Tall and strong you have become you find,
pushing through the struggle of times
from when one was asleep, not long ago.
But everything awakens, as it is meant to and so.
Just as you see the flower and the tree,
the spring of the seasons in front of you and me.”
