Buds in Snow

Bold in the warmth of coming spring
Bright the glow of new green,
All is proceeding as it should
Amid the warming scene

Then over night as darkness fell
More winter fell again
It wrapped the world in ice and snow
Instead of soft spring rain

The soft stroll into summer time
Disrupted by the snow
A time of testing has begun
Will blossoms fail or grow

Does faith that summer still will come
Outweigh the icy day
Or will the winter’s cold destroy
The new life on its way

And as the buds, trapped in the snow,
Face this new test of will;
So I am challenged in my faith
Will I survive the chill?
