You came in the winter of my soul
When my heart lie silent an still
When the beauty of youthful summers had passed
And life's hand held me clenched in it's bitter chill


Many seasons my spirit lie dormant and frozen
Awaiting the warmth only love could bring
And then you arrived on the winds of fate
Destiny brought forth her burst of Spring


Your gentlenes fell like a fine dewy mist
And bathed me in laughter,your words how they nourished
And like a young seedling tended with care
Resurrected again I stregnthened and flourished


Then when my petals regained vibrant blush
You stood back and smiled and heaved a deep sigh
For the season of planting had come to it's end
It was time for my gardner to bid his goodbye


Oh how I miss this gardner of love
Perhaps one day he shall see how I've grown
I'm strong and thriving though winter's at hand
Sustained on memories of love once shown

Nothing can touch the heart as much as a love remembered
