Flower Waits ---------------- When grey frost wraps the world in cold A quiet song in the heart is told, It lifts above the silent trees Like summer carried on the breeze It is the light that will not break The one that morning cannot take The earth rests under heavy white The north wind kisses out the light But far beneath the ice and chill The flower waits and always will A tiny seedling, small and slight Will push up toward the open light Some roads are rocky, steep and long And weary feet forget their song But in the darkest, hardest place A distant star will show its face It cuts right through the wall of fog And pulls us free from every clog No storm can drown the fire inside That burns within us, deep and wide We will not walk this road alone When hope is spoken, claimed and known But far beneath the ice and chill The flower waits and always will She is the anchor, firm and true In every year that starts up new --- "Flower Waits" Copyright © 2026 Rick n' Stolti.
