With this harsh weather we have had this winter in the Northeast has me yearning for spring. Winter has a beauty about it but it takes its toll on many things in life. When winter is long and unrelenting it can weary the strongest of souls. However, in time like these I always hear that tune in my mind and the voice of Bette Midler singing “The Rose”.
“just remember in the winter
far beneath the winter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose”
The song was written by Amanda McBroom and performed in the 1979 movie with the same title, “The Rose”. Although the song has been sung by many there is only the voice of Bette Midler when this tune plays in my mind.
Remember “think spring” and happy Valentine’s Day to all.
That's a beauty, Richard. And, I'm with you on the spring thing.
