fair deal

when winter seems to go on and on,

and there is no light to be seen

at the end of the proverbial tunnel,

remember that once we get thru

this bleak, colorless piece of road,

we will find ourselves poised on

the edge of a much longer stretch

that includes fragrant spring flowers,

those long and lazy days of summer,

and the colorful beauty of autumn–

and that’s a pretty fair deal.
