We've Made It

We've Made It Through Another Winter

"Come, sweetheart, listen, for I have a thing
Most wonderful to tell you, news of Spring".
--John Drinkwater

One more sleep and then it's official:
it's Spring. Every year on this day
Beloved and I congratulate ourselves
and each other that we've made it
through another winter.
Winters are hard for me,
I need daylight to keep
the black dogs of depression at bay;
although Beloved doesn't suffer from SAD
he too is always very glad
to see the lengthening days
and feel the ever more warming rays
of the sun.
