Winter ends and spring arrives
Dead trees again come alive
So do sorrows come and go
Likewise joys, how? I don’t knowThere is an unseen unknown
Behind the harsh play of fate
By which my destiny groans
It seems, I cannot negateYet I yearn, pray and hope
That destiny can change course
To avoid the slippery slope
Toward death, the darkest remorseAt the end of the black night
Sun’s warm glow will brightly rise
Dispersing the dreary fright
Heralding hope for the wiseHope rests on the surety
God exists, is almighty
He can change dark destiny
By His heaven sent Mercy
