As the winter storm approaches, hurling at you, 
Be the Sun shining on leafless souls, despite it all


With time passing by because you never know when,
When a bud might pull open for growth to recur
With enough determination and warmth to conquer
Conquer those gloomy storms no one thought of fighting off


For you never know when, when the wind might b r e  e  z  e   a   c   r   o   s    s


But no one seems to be having the energy to change things no seems to be having issues with


Burn a little and you may find out what you can do,
The buds that you can awaken to blossom flowers


But all we do is hide inside in our covers;
Because we have forgotten what history has faced


When Fredrick Douglass had the courage to                                                 escape  
I wonder what life would have looked like without them;
With no         thirteen,         fourteen, and                 fifteen amendments; 
With invisible chains being                         visible                                 on days


When Susan B Anthony         marched         across the         country;
when everything was against                                                 her and her motive, 
Her will to fight against laws brought change for us                 today.


And you ask me, what’s the use of fighting for change: 
You fight for a change that will create a better place.


Revolutionaries shone on those leafless trees, 
Even with no leaves to absorb their misery,
With no hopes for change and growth within them to occur


Bear a little pain because you never know when,
When you might bring a change you never knew was needed;
A change through rules or breaking them to create new ones


As you never know when time might favor your cause,
Bringing spring into your calendars after it all
Fumes of flowers--roses, lilies, and sunflowers


While you shine your light on those leafless-- yet alive trees,
With leaves e m  e  r   g   i    n    g      and r    a   d   i a t i n g towards your goal
Beautifying the scenery created by                                                         you;
Persist harder and shine brighter and tear deeper,
For you never know when the light might shine across
