There's Always a Springtime

THERE'S ALWAYS A SPRINGTIME
by Helen Steiner Rice

After the Winter comes the Spring

To show us again that in everything

There's always renewal divinely planned,

Flawlessly perfect, the work of God's Hand. . .

And just like the seasons that come and go

When the flowers of Spring lay buried in snow,

God sends to the heart in its winter of sadness

A springtime awakening of new hope and gladness,

And loved ones who sleep in a season of death

Will, too, be awakened by God's life-giving breath.
