MY SUMMER WILL COME

It’s been a while 

Since I smiled

On this windy road

Endless winter, harsh snow

Braving the storms

Tired and alone.

Hello, a stranger with a warm bowl

On this endless, windy road.

Your heart as cold

As the ice on road.

Shivering, trenches deep in snow I make,

Nay a friend, nary a home in sight,

To rest my eyes awhile.

O how long has it been

Since I have been home,

Mother’s food, father’s hug

Or shared in my kin’s joke.

I walk the roads alone,

For burdens are heavy,

I climb the mountains big,

So the path behind is easy.

It’s dark and cold here, promise me but the sun,

Not far, my summer will come.
