Changing of the Seasons

When the cold of winter comes, do not fear this frozen world for deep within, thy fire reigns and light will shine forever more. Alas, this darkened heart felt lonesome and abandoned but time did tell; contentment replaced what pain created, Experience has taught, what people cannot, that solitude is strength...though hidden it remains. Compassion and loyalty are traits which prevail. Always giving, rarely taking...this altruistic soul is both a blessing and a curse. Despite this absurdity and oddness within, tell me friend...do we give up or shall we go forth?
