The Mind is so wonderful

In the middle of the winter I am thinking of the Spring
Of butterflies and of flowers and of all beautiful things
The mind, it is so wonderful and yet it can be
A promoter of sweetness or of melancholy

When thinking of the winter and the chill of the day
It's easy to consider it to be something so gray
But when pondering the snowflakes that fall to the ground
I realize  such beauty is because winter's around.

So I can opt to be happy or  I can opt to be sad
I even  get to  handle the good with the bad
Working to balance whatever comes  my way
Is a task and a challenge for me every day.
