Keep a green bough of faith within your heart,
While winter days are here.
Remembering before e'er long,
Shy snowdrops will appear.
And crocuses in coloured crowds.
Will brighten up the lawn.
Spring will come to earth again,
And hope will be reborn.
And God will send a singing bird,
To sit upon your bough.
To show how much he cares for you,
And help to work things through. By Olive Miller
