Momma knows
Each fall felt through the earth
Memories once evergreen and pure
Worn by the world
Once in a windy while they stir
Wailing, I am still here
Passerby's stroll along,
Cursing the frost along their sole and the hail in their eyes
Barrenness never made for favorable conditions
But I promise you
Snow will melt
Spring will come
And I will learn how to love again
