It doesn’t matter how long winter is, spring will always come. Always.

The wattle will once again bloom. Always.

The bare, spare twigs and branches of the pomegranate tree outside my kitchen window will bud and sprout and push out red tiny leaves. Because spring is coming and just around the corner.

The days are gradually lengthening again. Because spring is coming. It’s just around the corner.

We will still have days of dark clouds, and showers of rain. Maybe even heavy storms. And more rain will be very welcome. But spring is still going to come. No matter what!
