NOW SHARP THE FROSTS

 

 

NOW SHARP THE FROSTS 

 

Now sharp the frosts

in glittering sunshine

gone the days of heavy rain.

In scarf and coat she walked the street

a paragon of woman hood

 

Through vision never blurred by mist

no qualms of fear for battles fought,

by fate of chance she hated flight

and she recalled a letter scrawled

to spurn all negativity.
