There shall come Spring rains br When all seems lost to the cold decay br And Winter shall release its icy reign br br When hopes anew are all but slain br By the bitter hold of frigid days br There shall come Spring rains br br Vernal longings shall make their way br As colors emerge from shades of gray br And Winter shall release its icy reign br br Nature's display may seem bleak and inane br As Winter's chill yet still remains br There shall come Spring rains br br Joy will abound where sorrow had lain br As Spring once more holds sway br And Winter shall release its icy reign br br Cold may rear its head time and again br Bear faith and do not dismay br There shall come Spring rains br And Winter shall release its icy reignbr br Sheri Waltersbr br
