It's like, life was once happy and carefree --- the days of a child. But now, there's brokenness and sorrow, loneliness, barrenness. You're hurting so much, and you just want this night/winter season to pass so that the fruit and beauty (and closeness/mended relationships) can return. The springtime of love, whether it be romantic, friendship, or familiar in nature.<br /><br />Beautiful, beautiful work, Grace.✿https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044032159371976375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856662679041828863.post-57563146395595587192016-02-02T00:29:19.672-05:002016-02-02T00:29:19.672-05:00Beautiful Grace.
