The windows of my heart
sense the warmth of Spring
its freshness its fragrance
a harbinger of change to be
from harsh cold wintry days.

Perhaps now my love will turn to me
she too must sense sun's warmer rays
the sheet of ice surrounding her heart
shall like late Spring snow melt away
opening a pathway straight to her heart.

My dearest Love, leave dreary thoughts behind
like new seeds, buds, flowers grow renewed
so too to brighter sunnier days open yourself
feel the warmth of the sun upon your face,
feel the warmth of my love in its proper place.
