Stronger than a winter rose
I knew from long ago
I let go — the new is not the old
Lovely as a winter rose
Bringing me room (now) to know
I can grow — even in winter’s snow
Stronger than a winter rose
Standing in the wind and cold
All alone
Beauty I long to hold
Lovely as a winter rose
Bringing me room (now) to know
I can grow — even in winter’s snow
